America We Love You

During the week of the 4th mommy school focused completely on "I love my Country". I feel so strongly about patriotism. Maybe it was the almost decade we lived in Texas that made me feel so strongly about the importance of it but regardless the reason, I love watching a love for their country build in my kids too! We got to write letters to soldiers for FHE, listen and read "Take Your Hat Off When the Flag Goes By" by Bright Music, watch episodes of Liberty Kids by PBS to help them grasp events and reasons for the Revolutionary War, talk about our family members who served in wars and so much more! I hope that my kids associate the feelings of patriotism with the same feelings of happiness they get when we BBQ and swim with family and friends on America's birthday. It was a great week and a great 4th. We loved being with family and LOVED watching the fireworks! Happy Birthday America! We love you!
