Foto Friday - 4th of July Edition

The 4th of July is my town's biggest holiday, of course this isn't saying much, because it's not exactly a big town. People literally come from all over to watch our parade and our fireworks and everyone has their own traditions.  Mine consists of watching the parade from the comfort of my own front porch, with mimosa's and my Momma, I then meet best friend K at her family's parade watching spot.  We travel together through the masses to get down to the park, where hot dogs, soda and italian ice awaits (I should aslo mention that this step involves dodging A LOT of people we went to grammar school with and have no interest to ever have contact with ever again).  At the park we meet up with best friend A and Co. and travel back to A's house for what's basically an 8 hour BBQ, until we run to get a good seat at the fireworks.Every year K and I walk home (we live on the same side of town) and every year she complains that she's scared to finish the walk by herself ;-)

I don't really share personal photo's on this blog, but because it's one of my favorite days of the year, I'm going to make an exception.  Here's 4th of July, hometown style:

K is an avid photographer and I count on her for a lot of pictures of a lot of things.  After stalking out her life on facebook, there were ZERO 4th of July pictures online....not a single one! WTF, K?! We've been alive for 25 of them (well you've only been here for 24, but still)!!
