Independence Day .... Doesn't seem like such a big deal really. All the shops are open and it's business as usual.

We spent the morning at the healing rooms at Bethel and by the time we got back to the house for lunch both dad and I were sick (I have been sick since the plane- ear infection and a cold... Thanks Aeysha! But today is the worst its been). Sometimes things need to get worse before they can get better, right?!

We had been invited to a BBQ pool party at the main ranch house. Mum and Aeysha walked down to say hello and give our apologies, while Dad and I rested (what wimps we are!).

We spent the evening playing card games and were so caught up that we didn't get to the fireworks either- HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!
