The 4th of July is well celebrated here - from parades to concerts to fireworks. I didn't do ALL of them, but had a great day! Here is our 4th of July:
The day started out with a free pancake breakfast at the fire station just across the street. Many Aegis residents participated in this event.
Then the parade: First there was a children's parade that went right in front of our residence, followed by a city parade at noon that also passed in front of our residence. The grand marshall was the grandson of the founder of this town. He brought his family and rode in a classic pickup truck in the parade. It was fun to watch!
That afternoon we played America the Beautiful trivia - did you know that more than $211 million is spent on the importation of fireworks from China for this day?
The day ended with many personal fireworks displays and one big one in the city park nearby. I didn't attend this (it was past my bedtime) but the noise was deafening.
Do come and see me sometime - I continue to have good health and enjoy the kind people here. Take care of yourselves!
