Happy birthday, America!

July 4th in Cincy was not what we expected.

We wanted sunshine.

We wanted swimming pools.

We wanted barbeques and family.

We wanted fireworks.

Well, this July 4th was not what we expected.

At all.

We woke up to thunder booming and rain splashing.

So Keri and I thought,

well, why not dance in the rain? 

Or at least in a gym in the rain?

So we headed to a special, 4th of July, one hour and twenty minute (woah!)

 Zumba class.

Our usual class is 60 minutes long,

but we were ready to kick it up a notch

with the 80 minute class.

I know I have blogged about Zumba a little bit,

but I cannot get enough of this workout.

It has so many benefits like

burning 800-1,000 calories an hour,

reduces stress, tones muscles,

and it's fun!

By the end of the class,

we were dripping with sweat

but feeling great!

From there, it was a pretty uneventful day due to the weather.

Keith and I cleaned, napped,

and eventually drove up the street

to watch St.Bernard's firework show.

All in all, not an eventful day,

but I did find it rejuvenating.

I leave you with a picture Keith and I had 

taken last year for our 2nd wedding anniversary.

Keith is the biggest America lover I know,

so when we found this American flag flying,

I knew we had to capture this picture.

Happy birthday, America!
