Yesterday was the forth of July. In the other 178 or so countries in the world it was just another day, but in America, it was the day to celebrate independence. I find it interesting that only 2 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence went on to become president. It is additionally peculiar that these two men went on to become political adversaries. The story does not end their, both Jefferson and Adams died with in hours of each other on July 4, 1826, and before his death it is reported that Adams said, "Thomas Jefferson survives."
We decided to attend the Amarillo Dillias baseball game, why not watch "Americas' Game" on her birthday. They also had a fireworks show after the game which was nice, not quite like Boston or New York. The show did send up a variety of fire works that went exploding in the space above us. The fireworks show far out did the home team who lost 17-3, with some of their best defensive plays coming in the 8th and 9th inning when their chances for victory were already bleak. I would also like to note, that this is one of the only two days when our little family wears the same, or matching clothing. (The other being Christmas morning P.J.s.)
