We are planning on celebrating with our small town. There's a parade in the morning and fireworks in the evening. They usually fire the works up in the sky from a local park which gets jammed full. Since we don't like crowds, we'll be watching from a hillside in the distance...where you can hear both the crickets and the fireworks!

Actually, we are celebrating the entire weekend. Last night my husband whisked me away to a fireworks celebration that we have wanted to attend for a number of years. It was called Set The Night to Music. The idea was that the radio station would broadcast a medley of songs dedicated to the American worker that was choreographed to the fireworks. It didn't quite work out that way and the show was pretty short...20 minutes. It was, however, a beautiful day and the evening was cool with no humidity. The fireworks were nice but I had more fun watching the family next to us...bored children are really creative!!!! :)

Today is a picnic in the woods. Yep...we have it covered, picnic, parade, fireworks and yes, sparklers!

Happy 4th of July!!!
