You Capture - America

America is a great country because I'm FREE to take pictures of whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I can.

And it's really cool when you put your baby daughter in front of the neighbors' American flag on the day before Independence day and the USPS truck happens to drive by at the same time.

Pretty darn American, huh?



We went out to a local festival/fireworks show on Independence Day Eve.

They gave out FREE balloons.


And FREE mini American flags.


There was FREE watermelon eaten by my baby boy, who was himself eaten on the face, by a pure-bread Louisiana mosquito.


We made it through the fireworks show (although began walking to the car midway through and beat SOME traffic, thankgoodness!)

(This one was taken by Tim - credit given where credit due, you know?)

Then on the 4th we let the boys do sparklers and they loved it.

(until the B man burned his foot - don't ask. shoes required from now on...)



Beth and her family especially know the meaning of the freedoms we enjoy in this country, as her two brothers are currently deployed and serving our country. Thank You.
