I realized that I missed posting about 4th of July with all this cruise commotion. It was my second Independence Day as a US citizen. Me and the children went to church in the morning for our yearly ward patriotic pancake breakfast and flag raising ceremony.
After that we had some time to spare, so I took kids to Groveland. It was so early in the morning, there were no people there, and the vendors were just setting up. So, the kids had bounce-houses all for themselves. They also had some old-time cars there. It is always fun to see those and to imagine how people drove those back in old times. We didn't stay there long.
There are so many interesting and fun activities going on around on 4th of July. After picking Eric up from work, we went to Celebration. Here the real festivities began: horse-buggy riding, music, booths, free stuff, dancing 70's style, fireworks.
It was amazing to see and hear Gina Marie Incandela sing national anthem. She is a 7-year old girl who performed at Orlando Magic game. This little girl's voice is so strong it makes your skin have goose bumps and your eyes tear.

Awwww. I miss Minneola's Fourth of July breakfast. That was my favorite tradition in that ward. I'm jealous of your cruise by the way. Joel is anti-cruise at the moment. One of these days I'll talk him into it.
