Devin @ the Arkansas Naturals Game
Devin's entire baseball team went to watch the Arkansas Naturals...they even got to tour the stadium & be on the field during the National Anthem. I got to go & also took Logan & my mom, we had a good time. We really just love to watch baseball!!

We also got to see a great fireworks show! It seems like every year, around the 4th of July, we always end up at a ballpark that puts on a great fireworks show. Each time i remind myself that somewhere out there, people are hearing those same loud bangs; only it's bombs & war, not fireworks. I can't help but feel somewhat guilty...like, i'm sitting here in this nice ballpark w/ my family, enjoying a beautiful fireworks show, while so many of our country's men & women are serving in our armed forces, away from their loved ones, fighting for our nation. With every bang & every burst of radiant color, i am reminded that our freedom is far from free. I guess for me, i feel as though our traditional celebrations are borderline bittersweet...i'm proud to be American & i enjoy all of our festivities, but at the same time I feel like maybe we take all of this for granted. I hope as you & your family celebrate the 4th of July this year, you will take the time to remember those that have made our freedom possible...those past & present.
