It was special:) Mia complained that it was too loud. Mom failed to bring ear protection for their little ears. Next time we&#8217;ll have to bring it. It was great to see everybody having lots of family time and friends gathering to celebrate America! Thankful for the country and the opportunities we have here.  It is not perfect but there aren&#8217;t many other countries where we would choose to live and raise our family.  Praying to God for wisdom in raising our children for America&#8217;s future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july4.jpeg 406w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july4-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 85vw, 406px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july5.jpeg 406w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july5-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 85vw, 406px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july6.jpeg 406w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july6-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 85vw, 406px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10707\" width=\"630\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july7.jpeg 721w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july7-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Beaver Lake, Washington State<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"406\" height=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july8.jpeg 406w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/july8-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 85vw, 406px\" \/><figcaption>Chicken adobo!
