A Fabulous Fourth

I spent the Fourth of July at my grandpa's house. We had so much fun! The small town of Thatcher, AZ certainly holds a huge celebration every year. At 5:30 am the fire department woke everyone up by running the fire trucks with the sirens going all over town. Then they had a patriotic people parade leading to a program at the park(and if that's not alliteration, I don't know what is!). They had music and speeches there, followed by a watermelon and cantelope breakfast, and a hose-off by the fire department. Then, that night, they had a huge fireworks show at the fairgrounds. We had the best seats ever, we were right underneath the fireworks. We could see them setting them off a hundred yards away! There was a ton of ash and debris that kept falling on us!

These aren't the best pictures, but they were taken from my phone, what do you expect?
