"The best 4th of July ever"
So Ella just declared this the best 4th of July ever! She and I went up to the roof of our building and looked all around the city to see fireworks going off all over the place, and then sat and watched the fireworks show from a very exclusive private club that's right up at the corner. It was perfect. No crowds, no smoke, no dangerous fireworks being set off by drunk people around us. (I still don't get why they sell these things in the grocery store. I grew up in California where they are illegal and completely understand why!)
It was just the two of us and the sliver of the moon. A lifelong memory for both Mother and daughter. This was the first year that she was not terrified of the noise and we could actually watch a fireworks show. Thank you Papa for keeping our sweet sick Nicholas sheltered safely inside from the noise, and chilly night.
Happy Independence Day and remember this is how we received our Independence.

Growing up in the Midwest, fireworks are a right of passage for boys. Firecrackers, cherry bombs, M-85's, helicopters, roman candles...it is amazing more people are not injured every year? But, I like your description of how to celebrate the 4th!
