WOW, IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH YOU CAN SEE WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING!! I LOVE FOR MY FAMILY TO TRAVEL TOGETHER. IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO REALLY ENJOY SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. GOD JUST KEEPS ON BLESSING US!! OUR FAMILY HAD SOME REALLY GREAT CONVERSATIONS ON OUR WAY TO BAKER. BUT, WHAT IS REALLY WONDERFUL IS THAT WE WENT THROUGH THE LITTLE TOWN OF WINNSBORO, WHICH IS JERRY'S MOM AND DAD'S HOMETOWN. JERRY THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL OUR CHILDREN HIS 4TH OF JULY CHILD MEMORIES. HE SHOWED CAIDEN AND BAILEE WHERE MIMI'S HOUSE WAS THAT SHE GREW UP IN. JERRY SHARED ALL THE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES HE HAD WITH HIS GRANDPARENTS, HE THEN SHOWED US WHERE HIS GRANDPA USE TO WORK. CAIDEN AND BAILEE WERE SO INTERESTED IN HIS 4TH OF JULY MEMORIES. WE ALSO PASSED MY HIS AUNTS PLACE, WHERE WE CELEBRATED OUR FIRST 4TH OF JULY AS A WHOLE FAMILY, WHEN WE BECAME OUR FAMOUS FANTASTIC FAMILY OF FOUR. BAILEE WAS JUST 4 MONTHS OLD!! I CAN STILL REMEMBER THAT LITTLE RED,WHITE, AND BLUE DRESS THAT SHE HAD ON!!! CAIDEN GOT TO RIDE HIS VERY FIRST HORSE THERE!!! PAPPAW ELLERMAN TOOK PICTURES OF HIM ON THAT HORSE, AND I STILL HAVE THAT PICTURE FRAMED!! I REMEMBER ALL THE CHILDREN THAT WERE THERE, AND BELIEVE ME, THERE WERE MANY!! ALL OF JERRY'S AUNTS WERE GATHERED AROUND THE TABLE, SHARING FOND MEMORIES OF THEIR DEAR MOTHER, JERRY'S GRANDMOTHER, AND SHARING HER TRADITIONS WITH THE FAMILY!! I WAS A LITTLE SAD ABOUT TRAVELING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DO "MY" TRADITIONAL 4TH OF JULY, BUT GODS PLANS FOR US THIS 4TH OF JULY WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. MY CHILDREN GOT TO SEE THEIR DADDY'S 4TH OF JULY TRADITIONS AND THEY WERE SO INTERESTED IN KNOWING IT AND HOPEFULLY CARRYING SOME THESE MEMORIES ON WITH THEIR CHILDREN. FAMILY IS SO IMPORTANT TO US AND MY CHILDREN HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE TRIPS LIKE THIS. HAVE A BLESSED HOLIDAY!!
