Happy Fourth of July!

Here in the U.S., we're celebrating our independence from Great Britain with our annual Fourth of July holiday.

Our family saw fireworks last night at our local elementary school, and today we're going to a parade and carnival. After that, I'm finishing up the world's most dazzling fruit appetizer thingy (seriously, it's nicknamed "The Dazzler" -- I'll post a picture when I'm done laboring over it) and we're off to a barbeque party with friends.

I hope everybody is having a great day!
