Independence Day


Another holiday! The 4th of July is Independence day in the USA. Parades and fireworks erupt nationwide to commemorate American Independence, which was declared to the public on this day in 1776. There are American flags everywhere, people even plant red/white/blue flowers in their gardens. It's also a day for family and friends to spend together: in the morning you go to the parades, then home for barbeque and in the evening to the fireworks. We went to the firework show in Vernon Hills and it was definitely worth it.
