Happy Independence Day!

I do not know what your family traditions are for the 4th of July holiday, but I know this cartoon is very appropriate for ours:

My family is planning to do all that and more again this Independence Day.  If we get a chance we will try to dry off a fish or three while we are at it.  Hope your celebrations are just as enjoyable.  While you are at it, remember what we are celebrating!  God Bless America!

Oh, and for the record, I and my cousins still have all of our fingers!  However, my uncle did get covered in apple sauce once after a little green apple somehow exploded!
