Happy Fourth of July, Independence Day, or birthday of the United States to all! I love living in a free land that is safe, secure, and brimming with opportunity.

I hope all you fellow Americans enjoy celebrating today and find some time to be thankful for all we have. Everyone else, I hope you have a blessed day as well. Now, I’m off to the river and sand with my lovely little family and won’t be back until Monday.

I leave you with some action shots of the incredible fun we’ve been having in our swimming pool. Best up-cycle/repurpose project ever.
