Independence Day!by Angie

Happy Fourth of July, everyone!  How wonderful it is to live in a free country!  We watched the Livermore city firework display from a park a few blocks away, where we met Jon and Michelle as the sun was going down.  We brought blankets and camp chairs, two decks of cards, and a frisbee.  It was great!  The city arranges for a couple of the local radio stations to play music that accompanies the firework display, so people can just crank up their radios wherever they are to hear all the favorite patriotic songs along with the light show.  I think this is going to be a family tradition for us in the coming years.
