Independence Day

This year is going to be a different kind of celebration. Since the 4th falls on Monday most of my family will not be together. Our area is in a severe drought so there is a complete firework ban. The city is doing a laser light show but you actually have to be "in" the park to view it. Since everyone knows we don't like crowds that probably won't be happening, so it looks like it may just be a quiet evening with the two of us and that's okay too.

Just for your entertainment I thought I'd put this Independence Day Quiz on my blog. I took it from another website and I will give you the link at the bottom so you can check your answers if you so choose.
