4th of July

The 4th of July has been a huge family holiday ever since I can remember. I love it!  However, with my parents gone, and without a place to do cotton candy, the entire day was a little different this year.
We got together with family and had a barbeque and did fireworks, but it was a much smaller ordeal than usual.  Most years I'm completely exhausted by the end of the day.  This year I got to spend a lot of time enjoying being with my family.  Both are good, but it's different.
