Easy Breezy for the 4th of July

As  a toddler, my son Jay loved the 4th of July. He appreciated the red, white and blue decorations around the house. With great pride, he helped hang a crisp new American flag on the front porch. He clapped with each and every flash, bang and  pop of the fireworks. It was marvelous!

He called it "America Time."

Whether you call it America Time, Independence Day or the Fourth of July, it is a great time of year to have a little fun:
