Happy 4th of July

I just LOVE 4th of July!

Even though it is usually hot and sticky, my American pride just comes blazing out.  Every year I always try to get some decent fireworks pictures.  It's a challenge of mine. 

I'm usually not overly impressed by them, but I continue to try.  Sometimes I just play around with other random things that I see during 4th of July celebrations.

 

Who knew a child's toy could be sooo much fun to play with and photograph!  This was a challenge to try and get the colors that kept changing around on the star stick.

 

4th of July gives me an excuse to do something fun, totally girly, and patriotic. 

We don't usually do anything very exciting over the 4th.  It is not a normal time for us to travel.  Although I would enjoy seeing fireworks in other parts of the country, but for the most part we hang out around home and try to scout out the best fireworks we can find by us.  We have been to several small town fireworks and other slightly larger town fireworks.  This year we are going to check out Hannibal(America's Hometown) Missouri's fireworks and see how they are.  A bonus is they are celebrating a local small town festival called National Tom Sawyer Days.

 

God Bless America!
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
O'er purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America. America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown they good in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

Have a happy and safe 4th of July!!
