4th of July 2009





Every 4th of July my Block and friends of my neighbors all come together for a 4th of July celebration. We are very fortunate to be one of the only 5 cities in the OC that still allows fireworks legally. We had it all... bounce houses for the kids, BYOB for the adults, games for the kids, ( egg on a spoon, tricycle races, balloon toss), live band for adults with tunes from Michael Jackson, and potluck style food. The grand finale was a firework display not only on our street but on all the surrounding blocks. I think fireworks were going off til 3 am. Our Block party is just as I remember as a kid. A day where families come together and celebrate. My favorite moment was when my oldest daughter Reese took over the microphone and sang God Bless America and I kissed a Girl... I am so proud to be an American!
