The 4th of July is by far one of my favorite holidays (ok, well Christmas too, but for the summer…can’t beat it).  I love celebrating the history of this great country, our fight for freedom, the right to live our lives as we choose, FIREWORKS ( I have to agree with my son-in-law Michael on this one, fireworks are the best!), and everything else that goes along with this holiday.

I found a quote from Erma Bombeck , who was a humorist from my era. I loved her writing because she wrote a great deal on living life in the regular lane (as opposed to the fast lane, which quite frankly makes me tired).  She had this to say about the 4th of July:

“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”

So, in keeping with that spirit of family, kids, and the like, which is my passion (as well as helping said families get into their dream homes…which is for another post…I digress), my favorite place to be on the 4th of July (ok, well during any holiday or anytime I can get there) is wait for it…

Walt Disney World

For those of you who know me, this is no surprise…my daughter works for them, we have a timeshare there, and well, it’s just the best place on earth as far as I am concerned.  So…since I love fireworks (see paragraph 1), I thought I would leave you with this video shot on July 1st of what else ” Disney 4th of July Fireworks”.  Enjoy!
