I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July mine is going to be very full and we (like everyone else in the country) are in the middle of a massive heatwave so I am just going to hope that I don't feel melted like a popsicle (on the 4th of July). Now on to my 4 faves!

1. Let's just get it out of the way: FIREWORKS! Love them as much now as I did when I was a child.
2. Marching Bands, extra love if it is from a high school.
3. Tiny people waving tiny flags - there is nothing cuter than a smiling toddler waving a flag to his hearts content! 
4. The way the day puts all the songs from this kids program about the founding of our country.
