Once upon a time, there were two families that were really good friends. They did lots of things together. But one of their favorite things to do was to go watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Except that the fireworks weren’t on the Fourth of July. They were on the third of July. At a place called Kaboom-Town.
The families would always bring picnic suppers, with festive food and patriotic treats to share.
They would watch the vintage airplanes doing their flyovers and aerobatic stunts.
And the kids would always have a great time hanging out together.
And after the picnic and the flyovers, the sky would grow dark and they’d have fun with glow sticks.
Finally, when it was all dark, the music would play and the fireworks show would start. The families would “ooh” and “aah” over the beautiful colors and special effects of the pyrotechnics display. And the dads would “ooh” and “aah” over the long lines of traffic that would build during the pyrotechnics display.
But even though it would take a long time to get home – sometimes an hour, sometimes more, sometimes less – the families would always have fun and promise to do it again the next year.
And they all celebrated their freedom happily ever after.
The end.
