America's Turning 250!! July 4th Fireworks & More
Hello and welcome back, NEO Homeschoolers! Can you believe we're already looking at plans for the 4th of July? It seems like just yesterday I was writing an update post to inform y'all - my readers - that I'd had an unexpected premie son on Christmas Eve of 2024. If you missed that post, click here. Anyway, here we are getting ready for the United States of America to be 250 years old... Do you have plans yet? We are hosting what has become our traditional fireworks and fellowship with friends from church and cookout food. It's one of the things I'm going to miss about our current home... being able to watch our local fireworks from our backyard. Anyway, y'all are here to find 4th of July festivities, so let's get to that!
