Happy 4th of July

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday here in the United States.  It commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. 

I found this great photo on the web. At the moment it sounds like thunder outside, there are fireworks going off everywhere! 

We had our own little celebration with sparklers and flags outside on the lawn.
