Nation's Day

We live in a city with several expatriate families....many of whom are not from America.  So on July 6 we had a "Nation's Day", kind of like the 4th of July, but couldn't really be for the 4th of July because of so many other nations represented.  We had a flag ceremony, ate hot dogs & had fireworks.

The best thing for me was Annie & Josh got to carry flags in the flag ceremony.  I was happy because it was one of the first things where they got to participate in the community here.  There hearts really need to be knit in.  This helped.
We are thankful to live in a city where much is offered to help our kids maintain some of their home culture while adapting to the new culture where we live!
Seeing Old Glory always makes me miss
my Daddy!
Josh & Annie had a blast!

Both kids took their jobs very seriously.  My dad would be so proud!
