You know, it occured to me on Sunday that 4th of July is one of my favorite hoildays. You can spend the whole day outside. You can swim, barbeque, and relax. And pretty much everyone that you are going to meet is celebrating as well. You don't have to stress about wrapping any presents. There are patriotic songs to sing. Fire works. Community events. People wear red white and blue, spirited colors like a school pep rally...except that we are all on the same team. Its a pretty cool feeling.
I spent one 4th of July in London. It was odd to not have everyone celebrating...until we got down town...there was a huge celebration going on...lots of whistles blowing, happy people dancing in the street...one of the coolest gay pride festivals I've ever attended. So we still got to celebrate on 4th of July!
I was worried thhis year about Belle, and that all the loud fireworks would scare her. However, she did just fine... Probably because she was so tired from going to the HB parade and then to the barbeque that she pretty much slept through the whole evening. Plus, we did have Karaoke Revolution up pretty loud... (o:
