Celebrating The 4th With Spritzers
Happy July 4th!
What a special & important day for our country.
I can’t help but be sentimental on a day such as today.
Sharing the significance with my oldest son, Shane
makes it all the more special this year because he really gets it
& is excited to ask questions and learn.
Which is fun!

&

all in the spirit of today.
