It's my favorite..........

Because it's a carefree holiday that starts with a big yummy breakfast and a silly parade, that ANYONE can be a part of.......
Because you get to play with cousins ALL day long, participating in all kinds of fun games and activities........

Because it's all about treats, and finding every way possible to cool off........

Because there are no presents and shopping, not much preparation, and lot's of relaxation..........

Because every year it's always celebrated in the most beautiful valley EVER.........

Because there is always a dance at sunset..........

Because there is nothing better than cuddling up in warm blankets, surrounded by family, with the cool breeze, and the beautiful scenery, to watch amazing fireworks and be reminded how blessed we are to live free in this great country.

If it's not your favorite holiday, then you haven't celebrated it here.

Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand

Between their loved homes and war's desolation!

Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!"

And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

- The Star Spangled Banner
