The Fourth of July in Taos

Dad and Marcus stole Will's parachute! It helps to be tall.

The Fourth of July

We went to see fireworks at Lions Club Park on Thursday. I tried taking pictures but it didn't turn out.
We sat on the side of the lake by the Lions' Building- no one else was there! And it was the perfect view. Grandma had given us glow-sticks and we had lots of fun playing catch with them. Marcus was scared of the noise of the firework explosions. Dad had to take him out to the car.
We went to Taos to visit cousins on the third and fourth. I'll post pictures of that in a minute. On Sunday Father Monsingor Cox gave one of the best homilies I have ever heard. It was on freedom and the duties it entails. I wish he had done that homily earlier- I could have quoted Father for my research paper on freedom!
