I love surprises so I was excited to check the mail on Wednesday and find a package for me from Izea! I opened up the bright green box to find a bunch of 4th Of July goodies. JJ immediately claimed the paper planes and my daughters quickly wanted to play with the frisbee and finger puppets.
Friday did not start out so well though, Sariah broke my glasses!!! JJ taped them up for me so luckily they are still wearable.
Later on in the morning we watched the Freedom Festival fireside where Glenn Beck was the featured speaker. I really enjoyed his speech.
My brother-in-law, Stephen and his wife Kristina came over and we went to a park that had some events going on. Sariah made a shaker and both girls got their nails painted red, white and blue. JJ and Stephen then went rock climbing on a climbing wall that was set up.
Watch the video!

I love Independence Day. It’s just a fun holiday all the way around.
