We Are America

 This week here at AOHV we have been getting ready to celebrate the Fourth of July. We started the week off with our favorite Kona Ice. The kids were so excited to see the "ice cream' truck. Then we had special red, white, and blue snacks on Tuesday. Wednesday we made special flags for July 4th and had a parade on Thursday. Then we ended our week with our famous water day.
