Nate and Jake's Go Kart

Nate and Jake wanted a Go Kart really bad.

They saved up and found one that needed some work.

Saturday night they came down and it was running.

Brent said about 5 times

"I don't know how we got it running!"

Macey and Kate were at the house and got one of the first rides.

Laura you did it again, it was great.

Happy 4th of July

Mom used to watch the movie 1776 every 4th of July.

I love the last part when the Decloration of Independance is signed.

I try to watch the DVD " A More Perfect Union" every year.

It helps remind us of the struggle our country had to unite the states into a nation. God Bless America!!!
