Happy 4th of July everyone....or well....to the one follower I have but to anyone that comes across this blog. I remember growing up 4th of July was an exciting time! During the day we wouldn't really do anything but come night fall, we'd grill either burgers or hot dogs, sometimes both! Then after we ate, my stepdad would bring out this huge box of fireworks and we'd go out to the front of the house with chairs, drinks and the fireworks. We always had the biggest fireworks display on our block. Other people would come outside to watch. Sure there were other people on our street setting off fireworks but they didn't have as much as we did and when they were done, they would watch ours. Becuase I wasn't old enough back then to handle the big fireworks, I was given little things. Things like Sparklers, snakes, smoke bombs and those Snap Pops (you threw them on the ground and they popped). And though they were little, I was never allowed to handle firecrackers. Not sure why. But anyways, we'd always start off with the little fireworks first then the bigger ones and finally the grand finale which was usually a huge firework that shot off like 26 times or something.
These days we don't really do anything for the 4th....or any holiday for that matter. They just seem like regular days. Perhaps it's becuase we can't afford to do things like we use to. Last year and the year before that, we didn't even get a tree for christmas. I can't wait to move out on my own. I'm going to start my own traditions for every holiday and certain days of the week! At least that's what I plan to do. Who knows what will happen!
