| Fourth of July is our family's favorite time fo the year. We gather together two or three or four times in order to eat, visit and blow up as many fireworks as possible. It helps when one in the family is a dealer in fireworks and can get them at basement bargin prices.....the fun goes on for hours. Laughter. Singed fingers. Bug bites. Conversation... |
 |
| The kids line up their boxes and try to remember in all their excitement NOT to drop their punks amongst the bees, black cats and roman candles. |
 |
| Little girls play with spraklers..... |
 |
| While the "little boys" play with the big stuff.... |
 |
| Families sit down after hours of lighting off firecrackers....sweaty and smelling of gun powder... |
 |
| Children are entranced by the "bombs bursting in air" only fifty feet over their heads.....laughing when the end of an artillary shell smacks them in the shoulder or squinting their eyes as the smoke billows over them.... |
 |
| And exactly how many kids will a trampoline hold before it breaks????? |
 |
| Veterans are recognized for their service and valor!!! |
 |
| And the aftermath of four thousand firecrackers leaves its mark... |
 |
| O Beautiful, for patriot skys, for amber waves of grain. For purple mountain's majesty, above the fruited plain. AMERICA! AMERICA! God shed His grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood. From sea to shining sea! |
