Happy Birthday America!!

I and the rest of the United States just recently celebrated the Nation's birthday on the 4th. It is one of my favorite holidays and this year was very eventful and fun. We basically did the exact same schedule that we did last year just with more family and friends! On the 2nd, my family and I went downtown to watch Red White and Boom one of the best firework shows in the Midwest. Following the best fireworks finale along with an awesome soundtrack, we slept in the next day and attended my dad's company picnic that ended in another awesome fireworks show. Sunday was family day where we had a major cookout, water balloons, slip n' slide, and fireworks! Besides my dad burning himself on the hand during a fireworks mishap (note to self do not sit while lighting fireworks) we had an amazing time. Monday was the closing of a fabulous weekend by spending the day at the water park.
