Happy Fourth of July!

Declaration of Independence. Liberty Bell. Graff House. Thomas Jefferson. Independence Hall (Pennsylvania State House). I love America.

Thomas Jefferson drafted the declaration in Thomas Graff's house. Liberty Bell has been a symbol of freedom since it was built by John Pass and John Stow. Pennsylvania State Hosue was the court of Pennsylvania State. (der der der). It was nicknamed Independence Hall after the Declaration of Independence was signed there August 2nd 1776. (It was adopted on the 4th of July).
I love history. Thomas Jefferson is so amazing. And I love John Locke - he's a genius.

In a spiritual light, how our Heavenly Father must have prepared the men that wrote, corrected, and signed the Declaration of Independence. Obviously it was necessary so that we, people living in this day and age, could worship how they pleased. Yay. How the words of our Lord were written into the declaration. Especially inthe paragraph that prohibited slavery - it was taken out when the colonies met in the Pennsylvania State House to alter Jefferson's draft. Jefferson was in pain when the entire paragraph was omitted.

In Murray, we usually get up super early to go to the parade. Then come home take a nap. Go see a movie. And conclude the night with awesome fireworks.

The parade in Philadelphia was uh interesting. It made Murray's parade look phenomenal. There were probably ten groups. And each group would stop in front of us for what seemed like eternity. Lets see the parade lasted two hours, ten groups that would be about twenty minutes for each group. Boring. Ridiculous. Like I said,we were all missing Murray's parade.

Watched a concert. John Legend and bunch of other bands. For some reason, the only thing I really remember is trying to stay perfectly under both umbrellas so that I didn't get soaked by rain. Somehow, I still managed to become incredibly wet. We left before the fireworks due to being so wet. We heard they weren't anything too spectualer anyway.

Oh an I experienced the nicest port-a-potty. ever. Marble walls, ceilings, and floors. Two sinks, four toilets. No I'm not exaggerating. It was insane!

It was an awesome fourth of July. Interesting. But awesome still.
