July 4th

July 4th is one of my favorite holidays of the year. What can beat it? You spend the whole day celebrating with friends and families and then we night come beautiful fireworks light up the night sky. The 4th of July is dedicated to the celebration of the independence of the United States of America. The time we spend together is spent having fun. All the negativity that is constantly around us during the other times of the year is squandered as we all gather to celebrate our nations independence. Some of my favorite things to do during the 4th of July are grill, swim, shoot off fireworks, and spend times with family and friends. When you spend time outside on the fourth you can smell the grills cooking the hotdogs and hamburgers around you. Whether you are at the lake or just head to the neighborhood swimming pool it is always nice and refreshing to take a dip in the pool. Friends and family surrounding you just complete the atmosphere. Being around those you love increases the happiness that you feel and allows you to enjoy yourself more and just rewind and relax. Presents aren't need, huge meals aren't needed either. It is amazing that such a simple holiday can bring such a serious amount of joy to those around the country who are celebrated the nations independence.
