God Bless America!!

Happy 4th of July and may God bless America...land that I love!! Hope your day was filled with an air of excitement as you ate good food and fellowshipped with good people. We started the day at the Bayfield 4th of July parade which was was different than any parade we had ever seen. I forgot my camera but there were many neat floats.....some political, some with people square dancing, some with live bands playing, some spraying water on all the kids that ran behind it to get wet and cool off, but my favorite was the one "celebrating the 21st amendment bearing the right to drink beer at the Billy Goat Saloon" with their saloon girls dancing! They then had arts and crafts and food and a band playing at the park. After leaving there, the Vallecito Service League had an Arts and Crafts area at the bottom of the dam but it was not quiet as good as Bayfield's. Later in the afternoon, We had a yard FULL of people as the Camp Kanakuk kids came, cooked out and played in our church yard as we waited for the firework show....







Look as this awesome display of God's promises that He blessed us with before dark.....it was the brightest rainbow we have ever seen!

It was a really neat day as their was an air of excitement all around being a holiday in a vacationing area. The fireworks were awesome as the boom from each one echoed off of the mountains. I forgot to mention that next door at the bar, they have a band playing on a stage outside REALLY LOUD now and for the greater part of the afternoon. I didn't like them until I heard them signing "Sweet Home Alabama"!!

(Teen Night Friday night= 25 kids there from 6 different states! May God bless the seed that was planted and may fruit be produced from these kids all over the US)
