july 4th 2008

we celebrated our independence this year with the whole family, but no grilling. instead we had our traditional father's day feast of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, etc, since my parents were out of town on that sunday. the whole family got together to enjoy the food and fun, and the millers, proctors and, of course, kings, stayed around for the fireworks show in the nearby park. liv enjoyed it immensely, since she had never seen fireworks before (due to a very understandable early bedtime) and jonah was a trooper, offering to stay up late so he and his sister could enjoy the show!
