Well we celebrated the 4th very well in the Mayo household. We started last Sunday (6/28) with our God and Country Day celebration at our church followed by a churchwide luncheon. We did not have evening services that night so we decided to go out to Bellevue Baptist in Memphis where they were having their Starlight Spectacular. This was an outdoor family event with music, food, and fireworks! It was so much fun. Several families from our church went and we all sat together. We took our picnic dinner and enjoyed some wonderful fellowship with friends while listening to some great Christian music. The fireworks were awesome at the end of the night! Drew loved it and was able to expel some of his constant energy! JC did what he does best, slept through the entire thing! It was a tiring night and we all had to work the next day but it was worth it. The following is a slide show of the night.
On the actual 4th of July we celebrated with my family out at my moms. We swam and the guys fished and we enjoyed some ribs that Lou cooked for us along with all kinds of fixings and some incredibly good homemade ice cream! YUMMO!! It was a great day of relaxing with the family. I am so thankful to have a loving family that wants to get together whenever we can and just enjoy one another. It was a wonderful celebration of our nations independence. I tried to keep a mindset of thankfulness to our Lord for the freedom that He gives to us because of Jesus' willingness to give His life for each of us. We are so unworthy of that sacrifice but He did it willingly, because He loves each of us that much!
