Vacation: Fourth of July

One of the best parts of being able to claim dual citizenship is having more than one excuse to celebrate. Not only do we get two turkey days, but July allows us two reasons to celebrate. How many fireworks can one family handle? Apparently a LOT. After the Canada Day festivities, we moseyed on over to my brother's in Montana for the Fourth of July. I soon discovered that Montana is one of those states where the "good" fireworks remain legal. Bliss!

My brother's house is situated on a hilltop overlooking most of the town. Since several other townspeople annually have their own private fireworks display, it meant that we just had to sit back, wrap up in a blanket (what's up with the weather?) and enjoy a couple hours worth of hassle-free fireworks. (Plus, when the kids got tired, we simply took them in the house to bed!) Fabulous!

Happy Fourth, everyone!
