Happy Birthday America
Today I was driving in to see Dad as I often do. I go past the Bountiful Cemetery on my way there. I pass this place about forty times a month, but I never have time to stop. Today was different. I had a little bit of time, and I decided to stop. About three years ago, I discovered this statue at the cemetery. It is AMAZING. Today I decided that it is going to be my tradition every July 4th! It is called "Appeal to Divine Providence". It is Ben Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. I love it! I also love the story of our country and the men and women that sacrificed, worked, and dedicated their lives to the cause of America.

love this!
That's so great mom! What a fun new tradition you've started. I LOVE how much you are into the history of our Nation. I especially missed seeing you guys over the 4th and not being able to watch Lagoon fireworks on the deck with a rootbeer in my hand. That was another FUN tradition.

I love that you were finally able to stop and appreciate your journey! This is so nice. Next time I'm up there, I'll need to head over and check this out. :)
