The Fourth of July

A house full of family and friends, a box full of fireworks, large plates piled with food from the BBQ, and conversations to last a lifetime. This is the way to celebrate the fourth of July.

A crowd of spectators grow when the loud BOOM echoes through the streets of the once quiet neighborhoods. The oohs and awes fill the night with the sparkling and radiant colors that light up the sky.

Laughter erupts when the silliest things are said and done on this fourth of July as they wait patiently for the next exciting display of fireworks to be set off.

When the fireworks run out and the cleanup is complete, the long embraces and shaking of hands follow as they scatter back to their homes to settle in after a fun-filled and exhausting night.

A never ending smile in place while reminiscing on the events of the night as they shut their eyes and drift off into dreamland.

The Fourth of July, Independence Day, will always be reminiscent throughout our lives while we anticipate the next display of fireworks.
