4th of July

I'll have lots of pics to post later...(I just am too lazy to put them onto my comp right now.) It's been a fun week. Wednesday was my brother in laws Open House. Congrats to Ches and Elizabeth! Then on Thursday we went to the Fireworks up by the Stadium with Ashtons family (Where if you read the post below, you will see I lost Aspen) Then on Friday Aspen and I spent the day out in Lewiston with my family. It's a tradition for the Pecks to go out to my Dad's Nephews house every year, and spend the day just relaxing and playing. It was a lot of fun. Shamayne and her famiily came, Sharik and his family, Shad and his family, Shiloh and Kami, Shenla, Donny and her kids, Shalee and Jill, and I. So most of us were there with Mom. It was fun. At least until Aspen got so tired from playing all day and wouldn't take a nap. Then we came home for an hour and Aspen slept, then we went up with Ashton to his family's Bar-B-Q, then I went with my friend Michelle and her family to the STYX concert. It was my firts Rock Concert I've been to, so it was fun. My favorite song was "Come Sail away" I really liked the lyrics to it. So I thought I'd post them here. Anyway, Happy 4th to you all. Hope you enjoyed your family and had lots of fun. I'm proud to be an American, and for our Freedom. A big thanks to our Military who defend our freedom!

Come Sail Away lyrics

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
For I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends
And the dreams we had
We lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above our heads
They sang to us this song of hope and this is what they said
Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
And headed for the skies

Sounds like a busy 4th. I love good old family barbeques!

We went to the STYX concert too! It was way fun minus my incredibly swollen feet...
