Happy Independence Day

A little history lesson: on July 2, 1776 the 13 Colonies of North America overthrew the governance of the Parliament of Great Britain and rejected the British monarchy to become the sovereign United States of America. On July 4 was adopted the Declaration of Independence, date which now is celebrated as Independence Day. It is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. People spend the day by going to parades, picnics and in the evening to see the fireworks.









Declaration of Independence, painting by John Trumbull - shows the five-man committee in charge of drafting the Declaration as it presents its work to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia.

This year Corina and Kevin are the hosts of our 4th of July party. I will post pictures tomorrow...
