Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July everyone! I'm super excited for today because the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. It's basically "Aminah and her dad's holiday" around here, and for valid reasons. We go to the Hot Chicken Festival together and crack up at each other's faces as we torture ourselves with what is delicious Nashville culture. We buy fireworks and become the envy of the entire street with our amazing amateur fireworks show. We make fun of other people(our favorite pastime together). It's a ton of fun and I just enjoy having our street filled with lots of people having a good time with each other. While it's not exactly fun not knowing the difference between gunshots and fireworks on today and the next few days, it's nice to see potential aspects to add to our show for the next year. Also, the little kids aren't left out today, as we buy plenty of sparklers for those of us who aren't quite ready for the larger displays. The 4th of July is like Christmas in that it brings everyone together, but it's almost even better because it's not just families that bond, but neighbors and friends also. And you can go outside without getting frostbite on your nose. Win-win situation if you ask me. So today I want everyone to go be with their friends and family and just have a great time and enjoy being off from work or out of school. And leave me a comment and let me know some of your 4th of July traditions. See you all on Monday for "Minah's Monday Munchies". :-)
