The Fourth of July

Do I ever love the Fourth of July! The town just closes down the whole center and makes a day of it.

















First there is the kids parade, (check out my "Astronauts and Baby Carriages" blog) and then later in the day is the "Big people's Parade". There is a line of fire engines and police cars from all of the neighboring towns and each one is trying to have a louder siren I think ... I still can't hear !

The military units follow. They are made up mostly by re-enactment groups and it is very impressive.



So what is it about the Fourth of July that I love so much? I think it is the fact people seem to enjoy being together, they interact and seem to have a great time.
