Old Fashioned Independence Day Celebration















We attended an Old Fashioned Independence Day Celebration recently. It was held at U.S. Congressman, Todd Akin's house. The evening was very Christian and very Patriotic. With fife and drum music, bagpipes playing and canons firing, we felt like we had entered another time era. Re-enactments, displays and speeches informed us of a time when Americans openly honored their God. A fantastic firework display rounded out the evening as we celebrated 231 years since America declared her independence!

he didn't get to actually fire it!
