“I hope everyone has a great July 4th weekend! Take some time to remember why the US was formed, our freedoms that we enjoy, and all the possibilities that this Country gives us!!! We are so blessed to live here, and to be able to do what we like when we like, not all Countries are as fortunate as we are!!! We are truly blessed!!” ~ MaryJo Bailey ~

“America’s fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed!!” ~ Justin Greenhalgh ~

In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

I love the 4th of July. Every 4th my household takes a drive to our Cousins house and has a full day of swimming, eating, playing, talking, eating LOTS of dessert, and when we all want to go to sleep from our day of fun in the sun with our bellies full to capacity, we all load ourselves into our vehicles to go to the local park to watch fireworks. I learned a trick last year……wanna know what it is? LOL I dress my daughter in her pajamas before we head to the park! That way when the fireworks are done and we pile back into our cars to go home I don’t have to undress her to get her into her pajamas after she is already asleep. I don’t even have to wake her up. It’s a win win situation for both of us! )~

ANYWAY…..
