Where did you get those pictures? This is the second time you've put moving pictures on. How do you do it? Anyway, I love 4th of July. This year we're going to a really big party at my friend's house. I can't wait! Here's a question: do they have 4th of July in England?

Google "animated clipart", and choose the fourth one on the list. The website is amazing-animations, or something like that.

Of course it exists - they don't just skip from the third to the fifth, I'm sure. :D I highly doubt that they celebrate the day their colonies broke away from them, though.

That's so funny that you should ask that, Emily, 'cause I told my dad that exact same riddle last night!!! LOL! I'm not going to answer since I already know it. :)

Well, yah, they have it. They don't think of it as a holiday, though!

But they do have a holiday similar... can't remember when or why...

We need some British people on here!!

I go to two parties too!!!!!!  But this year I wasn't in the party until the fireworks ended.  :(  My dad forgot his phone in the car and it was many blocks away.  And the fireworks would be on in a few minutes.  So we knew that we wouldn't be back in time.  So he yelled up to the people on the deck, they didn't hear us.  :(  THEN the firworks started and we say down on the curb.  My butt was numb by the time I got up.  Then when the fireworks were done, a band started playing.  And then we made other attempts to get those peoples attention.  There were stairs up to the trap door on the deck, so dad lifted Autumn up and she went and tapped on the trap door.  No one heard us.  :(  But then we sat down on the curb again and listened to music.  Then, finnally, someone was leaving and we got to get in.  When we got up there, ALL THE FOOD WAS GONE.  And I was hungry. 

Okay, for the story of the second party.  We played with ducks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And then we did the noise making popper things.  Then we ate and I actually DIDN'T get something that looked REALY good.  It wasn't vegan though.  Then we went and played on the water slide.  I got a few cracked lips and more than a few bruises.  We were having the slide shaked by my cousins friends, so we shaked them, too.  We were toppling over each other, climbing up the slide and slipping.  Rolling into mud water.  Then we got out and played hide-and-seek with a little kid.  I went to change into my clothwes.  Then, I seemed to be the only one playing with him, he was crying because the other kids didn't want to play.  Then I was behind my dasd and he was infront of my dad and didn't even see me.  He thought that I wasn't playing with him any more.  So then he found other little boys again.  Then we all went into the slide again.  We got out to watch AMAZING fireworks.  We could SEE the people doing the fireworks stuff.  Then we did sparklers and roman candles and bottle rockets, all was fun.  Then we had a traditional show of are TWENTY THREE year old cousin going naked down the water slide.  HE DOES THAT EVERY YEAR.  I didn't eat any cake or ANY deserts.  All of it was non-vegan.  Ther wqas A LOT of cake there.  More than normal because the fourth of july is also my cousins birthday.
