Every year there is a display of 1776 flags in town around the 4th of July. So for FHE, a week after the 4th we thought we would go see the flags. On the way, we had a lesson about our country and the freedoms we enjoy. We are so blessed to live here! We talked about why there were that many flags and the Declaration of Independence and the sacrifices that many people have made. We soon realized that we were a little too late. I guess they took the display down early this year. So there was only the one big flag in the middle. We were all excited to take pictures in their July outfits and everything. Oh well. The good news is that there was an ice cream shop across the street so we still got to have our family night treats.
This is what the display was supposed to look like. (taken 2 yrs ago when we weren't too late) It is a pretty amazing site to see that many American flags. What a great nation we live in!
