Had a fun 4th of July yesterday, celebrating our nation's birthday. I started my day with what has become my annual reading of The Declaration of Independence. I really love that document. I followed that up by watching the musical "1776", which is about the Continental Congress and the Declaration.
Later on, my Brother's family came over to swim in our pool, and have lunch. We had a great time. My niece and nephew are such good swimmers. You should see my niece do the backstroke. She does it beautifully. And my nephew is fearless in the water. They're a lot of fun. And I even got in the water with them, which is a rare occasion.
After they went home, and after getting a short rest, I drove up to Bountiful to have dinner and spend the evening with Julie, Janeen, and Inge. We had a taco bar (what's more American these days than tacos), and watched a movie. I left there a little after 10:00 to head home, which was about the time every community and neighborhood from there to here was filled with fireworks displays. It made for a pretty interesting drive.
Sadly, I failed to take any pictures of the day's festivities. But needless to say, it was a fun day, and a great way to celebrate.
