Our Pursuit of Happiness

We had an awesome 4th of July this year.

Though we are always so appreciative,

for ALL the rights, liberties and freedoms

that our forefathers

and the armed forces ever since

have fought and sacrificed so much for,

this weekend we especially enjoyed

our unalienable rights of life, liberty and

the pursuit of happiness,

and more specifically

our right to peaceably assemble:

~At the tide pools

~At our ward's big 4th of July breakfast

(at the park right by our house)

~At Gramma and Grampa's house

for a BBQ dinner and for some quality family playtime

~At the pool

(so Jared and I could leave early

and go peaceably assemble

at the movie theater to watch Super 8

while the kids swam with Gramma- thank you Gramma!)

~And finally (and best of all according to Austin)

we enjoyed our right to peaceably assemble

on top of my parents 2nd story roof

to eat ice cream cones

and watch fireworks

(no slips or falls off of it either

so there was no emergency assembly

at the ER either-whew!)

**One last thing, for those of you wondering, the Americana wedding cake that Quincy chowed down on turned out fine so he doesn't have to worry about my right to bear arms.
