John and I are smiling. July makes us smile.
(Isn't this a nice picture of my cutie pie!) 
July 4th patriotic programs at church make us smile.
We love our country. We love America.
Pancake breakfasts make us smile.
(The sausage and eggs made us smile too)
B-B-Qs and watermelon make us smile.
Cute grandkids make us smile
Playing in the pool with family makes me smile.
(John is not a big fan of getting in the pool)
Home made ice cream makes us smile.
Our 4th of July B-B-Q menu varies from year to year but 2 items never change.
We always have to have watermelon and home made ice cream. 
Being with dear ones for the holiday makes us smile.
Being with dear ones for the holiday makes us smile.Watching fireworks also makes us smile....
...unfortunately both of my camera batteries were dead (I forgot to charge them)
I don't have any firework pictures to show you.... so use your imagination.

We feel very blessed that we live in this great country and have family to celebrate with us.
We enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July.

I hope you have had lots to smile about too.

Love your watermelon and homemade ice cream tradition! Pancake breakfasts make me smile too!
What a wonderful celebration! Your kids are so adorable! It was fun to meet them in person on Sunday!
Oh Lura, I have missed so many posts, with my holidays and all! I loved seeing these pictures of your July 4th celebrations! It looks like you celebrated it in style! I wish they did things like that over here. We have St George's Day to celebrate being England, but nobody does anything for it and it's not even recognized as a holiday! I wish it would be!
