4th of July

It is amazing to me how people forget the meaning of some very important holidays.  The 4th of July is a very important day in the history of the United States. The Fourth of July is a time to commemorate America's declaration of separation from Great Britain that was made on July 4, 1776. Our freedom and our democracy that we have been blessed with is a direct product of the sheer determination from our forefathers who worked to establish the United States of America as a free country.

I love the 4th of July and spending it with family.  It is always a day of picnics and late night fireworks.  We did both yesterday...we have to work tomorrow, so staying out until midnight watching fireworks would not work for us tonight.  The kids had a great time and with family...it is always a great day.
