Happy Independence Day!

I have spent 20 years of my life in school but have little retention for anything I learned during those 20 years. My teachers would be so proud! In case you too are not "Smarter than a 5th Grader" I've referenced Wikipedia to remind us of the facts surrounding our upcoming holiday.

"Proclaiming that "all men are created equal" and endowed with "certain unalienable Rights," the Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The Declaration, drafted largely by Thomas Jefferson, pronounced the colonies sovereign "states." In 1777, the Articles of Confederation were adopted."

So, now that we have covered the important stuff make sure to get out and celebrate that freedom with some ice cream, BBQ and outside fun. We will be spending a couple of days on the Mississippi River with Scott's family. Hope you all have a great 4th of July!
