Freedom - Oh how sweet it is!

I find myself thinking, particularly on the 4th of July, how thankful I am to live in a free country. I am grateful for all our freedoms we are able to enjoy - one in particular - having the ability to homeschool our children. This is a freedom that I and others across the country share because we live in a country that allows us to educate our children in the way we see appropriate. So for all the weird looks and all the why would you do that(s) I receive I remind myself to be thankful to even have the choice to do so. Here's to you USA! Thank you to all the amazing men and women who serve, protect and defend our country.

Now it's time to run!

How long will it last?

How fast can you go?

The next few pictures aren't the greatest, but I thought they were unique how they turned out. As you can see, photography in the dark is not my strong point!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! Love to you all!
