Hi,
As for me, I heard a lot of fireworks, but no anthems -- we've come to celebrate the spirit of independence day like we've come to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. Slightly, if at all.

Quote:Our family went to one of the local celebrations over the weekend and this was the first Fourth of July that my odest son (3 yrs) had any clue of what was going on. When the colors were presented, I was able to get him to stand, but when I took his hat off in that still moment just before the drum roll, he cried out "hey, daddy, that's MY hat!" He followed up with "what are we looking at?" somewhere under the rockets red glare, and "what flag?" beneath the bursting bombs.Sounds like a happy outing. Good for you and your family.:)
We had a fun walk back to the car a bit after that though: the whole family shared a shaved ice (even the 10 mo. old needed the cooling and hydration).
