This year we visited my mom for the 4th of July and had the chance to attend the town picnic and fireworks show at the town park. This park is not like any other park. It has a ton of wide open spaces and has an old mansion house that sits in the middle of the green fields. The park was donated to the town years ago. I have many many memories associated with this park from my childhood...playing snow football in the winter, ultimate Frisbee in the summer, going for long runs on the trails, having picnics with friends or just going to walk and talk. In fact, I love it so much I even had my wedding reception there. It is a tradition that the whole town gathers for the 4th of July to spend time with family and friends, have a picnic, listen to the town band (what town has a town band?) and watch the fireworks. I was happy to return with David and Clint and get to enjoy time with family and friends in a place that I love so much. It made me grateful for the community I grew up in and the country that I live in. We have so many freedoms that more often than not I take for granted. I am certainly proud to be an American. Happy Independence Day America!

Like I said, what town has its own band?
