Sad...

I am really sad to say that I have NO photos of the 4th of July this year. Since we didn't have fireworks in Heber it just hasn't felt the same. We don't ever go to the parade or to the park. We always celebrate by having a BIG BBQ before the fireworks. We also usually take family pictures before the BBQ but when we didn't have the fireworks and weren't really celebrating we didn't get all decked out in our RED, WHITE, and BLUE:(

Regardless of whether or not we really celebrated here in Hebertown...I am still very proud to be an American. I am thankful for those who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice on our behalf so we can have the freedoms we enjoy.

God Bless AMERICA!!!

I also want to publicly thank Les Parham (and all those that help him) for ALL the years he has dedicated his 4th of July weekends and all the hours spent in training for us to be able to have our amazing firework show and to awake to the anvil. It was truly missed this past weekend and I hope he knows that we really do appreciate him!!!
BOOOOO to those who took it away from us!!!

Oh my goodness I didn't take that many pictures either. I think I was boycotting my camera on Saturday. I hate to admit but we went to Taylor's firework show and It was NOT the same. I do love this country though!!!

It was great to come home for the weekend and to begin to introduce some friends of ours to my beautiful town, but it truly wasn't the same without the fireworks...I didn't get the chance to see anyone...

Very well stated!!! So sad that we couldn't be the "Heber" we should have been.

Well, I guess it was a good thing I didn't come. Like I could have, but I always want to every year because of the great show. Too bad it didn't happen. Maybe next year eh?
