God Bless America

This year we spent the Fourth of July “standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.” Okay, well we didn’t really stand on the corner, but it was such a fine sight to see. The weather was absolutely fabulous and we had a blast catching up with family and friends.

We took part in all of the great Hancock family traditions…pancake breakfast, freedom piñata, big family barbeque, and of course the fireworks. The best part of the trip was being with all of my nieces and nephews. I just love them to pieces! Here are a few pics from the day…

The best part of Fourth of July is the fireworks. Winslow actually has an amazing fireworks display. The whole town donates to the fireworks fund and they put on a great show. The best part about it is that you can sit right underneath the fireworks as they go off…one of the perks of small town life.

My 2 ½ year old niece, Eden, sat with me during the fireworks. She was so scared! Poor thing. She was holding her hands over her mouth trying to be brave.


It was so cute. She was so scared at first, but after a while we started talking about all of the pretty colors and we would ooh and aah together. By the end of it she was loving it!! A few days later my mom asked Eden how she liked the fireworks, to which she replied, “They were wonderful! Pagie saved me!” It was such a special treat! God bless America, small towns, and family.
