Happy 4th of July!

Last 4th of July, my mom was visiting me in San Diego. We pulled up chairs along with my dear friend, Esther, and watched the fireworks overlooking the La Costa Golf Course while Fletcher was in Iraq. What a difference a year makes! This year Bennett, Fletcher and I went to the Marietta Square for the morning parade. It was wonderful! We watched all the floats drive by and enjoyed all the festivities. We returned later that afternoon with our lawn chairs, blanket and snacks to listen to the band and watch the fireworks. Bennett is just like his daddy....he loves fireworks. We had been invited over to a friend's house for a cookout, but Fletcher just couldn't bear celebrating the 4th without watching a firework show. He was right. We had a great time celebrating our country's independence.
