Independence

No matter where we go or what we do, we always have fun spending time together!

We were honored to go to the Annual Blume 4th of July Block Party.
Good thing that all the family cooperated in wearing festive colors. It's a must!

You may think my headband is funny. I hold on to it year after year. My Daddy bought it for me about 15 years ago and it's here to stay. Lynster loves it too!

Tan and Brookie participated in a fun kid parade.

Tan was not trying to imitate smoking a cigar. The tootsie roll just happens to appear that way.

Each year the kids ask more questions about the 4th. So this time I actually looked up a definition so I could explain it better. So here's a little history re-cap:

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States 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.

(If I can get my hands of the Fingal Party pics. I'll post those too!)
