Eff yeah I’m patriotic!
\
Happy really loud noises day!
\
\
Remember to:
\
- Eat a lot of food
\
- Have fun
\
- Don’t blow any fingers off.
\
- Don’t chase Jenn around with sparklers, it is not nice.
\
\
Confession: Fireworks scare me. I used to hide indoors during the fourth because I was afraid one would hit me. Also, the loud noise scares me. I’ve gotten better and now enjoy watching from a safe distance. You will never see me light one.
\
\
Request: Dear neighbors on the corner, I appreciate your firework show every year. Could you limit the amount of M80s thrown in there? I’m tired of the car alarms going off and/or waking up believing there is an earthquake. Thank you.

Happy fourth, Americans!

Spending time abroad makes me realize how superior American holidays are…
\
\
We celebrate our independence by blowing shit up and overeating. We celebrate Christmas by spending money we don’t have on gadgets and overeating. We celebrate the one time we didn’t kill Native Americans by stuffing food in other food then overeating and sitting on the couch all night watching TV…

God bless America..:-)

I’m so turning off my phone. Actually, I won’t because many people would assume I’m dead since I always have it on.
Hahaha very subtle

I, too, am afraid of fireworks. I can only do the big displays cities put on. You’ll never catch me having a display in my own driveway. I’m sure my children will feel deprived, but whatever

Happy Fourth of July! (am I the only Canadian in the comments today? Just curious.)

We just had Canada Day on July 1st - you would have approved Jenn, to the best of my knowledge there were no fireworks here in Vancouver. Vancouverites don’t care about Canada Day, they save their energy for Halloween!

I used to be nervous around fireworks. Probably because one year, the sparks descended on me and my cousin and yeah, it was kind of freaky.

I’m not afraid of big fireworks; only the little ones. I always make my brothers light them.

Happy Independence Day! Hope it’s safe, not-so-loud and happy! Haha! I adore shiny things, so I’m looking forward to the sparklers!

I’ve never been a fan of fireworks either. Half the time around here they get cancelled on account of fog, so I don’t really have to worry too much about it.

Hopefully the 4th of July ends up to be a satisfactory day!

Strangely enough, this post brought back so many memories. We used to go to my cousins’ in PA every 4th and they had SOOO many fireworks they set off in the backyard. I would hide in a bedroom crying and refusing to come out. And then one year I FINALLY got up the courage to hold a sparkler. Freaking out the whole time of course.

I’m scared of fireworks too! I always sit in a car while my friends launch them off.

Love the hat!

I dig that hat! And fireworks scare the hell out of me too. I mean, who likes the sound of them? I would prefer fingernails on a chalkboard. Or the sound of Paris Hilton giving an interview. Hmm… no, maybe not.

You look totally adorable!

Fireworks scare me, too! We would have made fast friends, especially when we were younger. I spent a lot of my time inside watching the fireworks through windows when I was a child.
\
\
Also, I LOVE your hat! So festive!
\
\
I hope you had a great day!

I don’t really like fireworks either.
\
\
On TV and from reeeally far away yes.

But up close no way.
