Happy Birthday America


What did you do to celebrate America’s birthday? Back in 1776 when the leaders of this nation decided to sign the declaration of independence from England and create this great nation that gives us the freedom we have today. They were visionaries looking out for future generations. Great leaders do that, they look out for the future. Little did they know that today's America is not the same America they created?
All leaders need a break now and then. What did you do today? We spent the day over at my relatives in River Falls swimming in a pool. A great relief from the 100 degree temperatures. No fireworks in the offing this year, just too hot and besides I have to work tomorrow. Here are some things you can do on the Fourth of July.
  • Have a picnic
  • Watch fireworks
  • Enjoy time with family
  • Hang out at the lake or any body of water
  • Attend a parade
What is the greatest place you have ever watched fireworks? My wife and I watched fireworks over lake Minnetonka in Excelsior quite a few years ago. It was one of the most beautiful and spectacular fireworks displays I have ever watched. The reflection over the lake was stunning! The only downside was getting out of there afterward it took an extremely long time. I promised the kids next year we will take them to see those fireworks.
Share your favorite fireworks display.
