Because of the courage and bravery of our Founding Fathers, we today are celebrating the birth of our Nation. How blessed to be living in such a beautiful country. To have the opportunities and freedoms that sometimes we take for granted. Because of their (our Founding Fathers) foresight we are able to enjoy activities like we do in our neighborhood.
We gather as neighbors for a breakfast where we celebrate the birth of our nation, our friendship and our blessings. We are grateful to the Jorgensen's who have hosted this for about 33 years. The neighbors participate in setting up, preparing the food, and clean up. Hundreds show up, many who have grown up here bring their children back for the fun.
There's a mix of old times and new comers. Everyone is welcome and feels it.
After the breakfast we get ready for the parade! You can't have the 4th of July without a parade and a popcycle!
We've got our Grand Marshall, we've got our Royalty, we've got children on decorated bikes, we've got our spectators! Who could ask for more?
Happy Independence Day!
