This morning, Dave and I got up early and
took a nice, long ride around Lincoln, Nebraska. It was very flat and very nice and relaxing -
a great way to start the day!
To properly celebrate the 4th of
July, we drove a short distance to Seward, Nebraska - The 4th of
July City. No really, – it has actually been declared: 4th of July City.
Where else would one go to celebrate?
There was an extensive car show, which the
boys enjoyed.
There was an art show, food, face painting (the
girls and I got tattoos painted on our shoulders), entertainment (even belly
dancers! – a well-known American 4th of July tradition).
And… What would the 4th of July
be without a parade? There were fire
trucks, tractors, motorcycle gangs, candy, politicians, marching bands, and,
more tractors.
The 4th of July City did not disappoint!
Although we could’ve carried on with the
festivities (BBQ, etc.) we opted for some quiet time and went to see the Minion
Movie. It was a cool break from the afternoon’s
excitement.
As the sun went down, the fireworks, once again,
started up. All over town we could see colorful explosions of light. There
was a view in every direction. It was
quite spectacular (the movie just gives a glimpse of the show).
Definitely, a very memorable 4th
of July!
