My kids love this song. They know every single word of it. They learned it at school and sing it quite often at their Friday morning flag ceremony. I think it has taught them a lot about patriotism.
I love my country and everything that is stands for. Growing up my ward had a 4th of July breakfast every year. It was always way early in the morning, like 7:00 am or even earlier - rediculous I thought. I would always moan and groan when my Dad yanked me out of bed and reminded me that I had to go - the Ward Children's Choir always sang at this breakfast and I had to fulfill that committment. We usually sang 'Nifty, Thrifty United States!' or some other patriotic song. (Check out Belinda's blog - she has the words to one of the other ongs on a post she did today.) I always ended up having fun at this yearly event, but I don't think I ever really appreciated the USA and what it stands for as a kid. Well, now I do!
Thank you to all of you who have ever served our country and protecting our freedoms! Because of you I get to say whatever I want on this blog whenever I want! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Independence Day. We're off to start our fireworks!
God Bless the USA!

I just caught up on all your posts that I've missed while I've been a blog slacker. Your kids are so dang cute and Zoe is a little you! I don't remember the forth of July breakfast...maybe we never went. I loves reading all of the fun things about your son and all of the cute things he says; kids are great!
I totally remember the 23rd Ward, 4th of July breakfast also! I also remember singing that song!
