Fourth of July Celebrations

It is hard to believe that the 4th of July is almost here! But, it is true. We are in the midst of summer and I can hardly believe it. Hopefully, you are heading somewhere fun and cool. But, if you are not, here is a list of the fireworks displays in the Bay Area so that you can bring a picnic dinner and enjoy the celebration! And, just so you know why we celebrate on July 4th (the Declaration was signed on the 2nd of July), here is a link to a summary of the historical events that led up to the July 4th celebrations. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080701/sc_livescience/whenwasthe4thofjulyfirstcelebrated
