you have a very patriotic cake. It looks very yummy. I bet it's already been eaten up by now. It looks like you all had fun. I have to work on the 4th of July :( It stinks, but what can I do? I should get out around 4pm. I don't know if the community is having a 4th of July party at the pool or not. I hope you enjoy the holiday.

I feel like you stole my idea because I thought of making a Canada Day cake lol. Hahaha. You, Kayla, Mikey, and Hunter definitely know how to throw a party, especially with all your decorations. My cake would be red and white with a red maple leaf in the middle. All of you, including your mom, Dad, sister, Holly, and everyone im forgetting have a happy 4th of July!!!
