You can’t help but love the 4th of July holiday. Not only is it sign that summer has reached it’s mid-point, but it is a great reason for folks to slowdown and enjoy each other’s company.
I really love July 4th. Every house is decorated with flags and folks wear patriotic clothing. I love seeing all the red, white and blue.
We start the day with the childrens bike parade. This year we went to see the B17 that was at our local airport. A couple of WWII fliers were there to answer the questions of folks. One of the gentleman actually flew in the ball turret. After seeing the thing I was very impressed. What a great way to celebrate our nations birthday with a WWII veteran.
The rest of the day was the swimming pool, BBQ and fun with neighbors and friends. All the kids get together and share fireworks. We parents supervise and visit and watch remembering all our 4th of July’s as kids.
Finally the ice cream – the coolest part of the day.
I thank my lucky stars daily that I live in a free country! Happy Birthday America!
