Fireworks, food, family, fun… That’s what the 4th of July usually means to me. When I was young, my parents often took me to a firework extravaganza. It truly was magical to me. I preferred the red and green blasts of light the most. In my teen years, we would go downtown with a packed lunch. We’d picnic and hang out until dark.
