Happy Independence Day to you! I wasn’t sure what that meant originally so I looked it up on Wikipedia. It was a pretty long read on the American Revolution but I thought this summed it up pretty good:
Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.
Since our vacation was a complete bust, my parents wanted to keep the long weekend low key. We did have some company over to meet me and I went swimming for the second time at Grandma and Grandpa Marchant’s at a pool party! I love water, and being the center of attention isn't so bad. I got passed around from guest to guest to guest and got lots of love. It was a little overwhelming with all those new faces so I wasn't quite being myself, but it was good once I took it all in.
