What did you do with your 4th of July weekend??

Happy 4th of July!!! <yep a day late>

So what did you do with your weekend?

Did you BBQ?

 

Go to the beach?

 

Go camping?

 

Spend time with your family?

Did you watch fireworks?

Or a parade?

 

Did the reason for July 4th or Independence Day come up in your conversation over the weekend?

Are we thankful for our country and all that the men and women have done over the hundreds of years to make this our country?

239 years ago on July 2nd we became independent!!!  We broke away from Great Britain's Rule.  Ever wonder what life would be like if we were still under another country's rule?  The early settlers came to America to find freedoms.  And in that search they gave us our own freedom.  Something we still have today.  We have the right to our own opinions and voices.  We will not always agree with one another and that is ok.  That is great even.  Because sometimes great things come out of disagreements.  We should always be thankful that we do not have to conform with everyone else.  We should always be thankful that we get to be who we want to be.  We should be thankful, not judge and not be mean or nasty to others for being who they want to be or believe how they want to believe.  That is what makes America great.  Maybe someday we will all learn to no bully, tease or torment others for being different.  We shouldn't be hateful or fearful of others because they want to make a stand for what they believe in. 

Basically it's America!!!!  Be how want to be, believe how you want to believe and DO NOT let other bring you down with their own opinions!

 

And yesterday I explored my county and found new places to research and explore!!
