We kicked off or Independence Day holiday by joining a run/rally for a local fallen soldier. Izzy Obryan, he left a wife and one year old son. Sg. PJ Kellogg ran from Newburn Tn to Jackson Tn, 50 Miles! Matt and Aaron ran the last 8 miles with him and the kids and I joined them to walk the last mile. It was a wonderful experience! After the run we had some barbque, bonus here was all sales went to a scholarship fund for the Obryan boy! For the weekend festivities I got us all new flag shirts from Old Navy, it was awesome because they were only $5 and for each one purchased the are sending one to troops!
Later in the day we went to a Jaxx game with the Raabs, Yarbroughs, and the Cygans. It was a lot of fun and Ben was a sport! We even made it all the way through the fireworks!! All and all it was a successful celebration weekend!
We had been out in the heat for around 2 hours at this point, it was starting to wear on the kids! But they were good sports and hung in there!
