Happy 4th!

I hope that everyone had a great 4th of July!!  I love this time of year because we get to reflect upon our nation's history and the Declaration of Independence.  I loved visiting Thomas Jefferson's home when I was living in Virginia.  I went a lot because: 1) it was free each time, 2) I LOVE history.  I love learning about the American Revolution and the authors of the Declaration. 
I actually did not see fireworks though.  I REALLY wanted to take Emma, but she was so tired by 7:30 that we stayed home.  The "boom boom" of the fireworks woke her up anyways.  
We watched the celebration in D.C. on T.V.  Emma LOVED Big Bird.  She doesn't watch t.v. very much, but she LOVED the Sesame Street characters.
