July 3rd we went to an Independence Day breakfast celebration in Gardnerville. Jesse's father was the guest speaker and I was impressed with his positive outlook towards our nation and the gratitude expressed for the great freedoms we enjoy. He reminded us that Heavenly Father blessed us with these priceless freedoms that we have and that He is ultimately in charge.

| Picnic at Hertiage Park |
Sunday, July 4th we attended church and the choir sang a lovely Patriotic medley. After church we went to Hertiage Park to hear Sarah play in the Carson Valley Pops Orchestra. They played beloved Patriiotic favorites as well as some fun music from the American West.
