UnforgettableIndependence Day

Today was my first 4th of Julycelebration, and I’ll always remember it because it was so wonderful. The 4thof July is Independence Day in the US--- the anniversary of the day the UnitedStates became its own country in 1776.

I began the day by packing my swimming suitand a towel. Then I went with my host family to a supermarket to load up onfood and drinks. After that we were off to a friends’ ranch out in the countryfor a barbecue and pool party.
