Hometown 4th of July

My favorite way to celebrate the 4th of July is in my tiny hometown.  Everyone gathers at the park where there is good food, games and races for the kids and usually lots and lots of sunshine.

After lots of prep and coaching in the weeks leading up to the big race my niece pulled off a win, her second in 3 years.  My nephew did well too - 3rd place isn't bad for a 2 year old.  Next time I think we'll make sure to give them the cotton candy before the race - a little sugar can only help their speed.

Happy 4th of July

I'm a day late, but couldn't pass up an opportunity to wish everyone here in the US a Happy 4th of July.  I hope you were able to celebrate in a way that made you happy.  While my escape to Southern KY wasn't quite as good as being in Aurora for a small town fourth, I'm happy to be an American and for the dedication and sacrifice made by all those who serve our country.
