Things to do in Florida July 1, 2, 3, 4, 2011

Taking over this list of things to do in Florida July 1, 2, 3, 4 2011 is the 4th of July or Independence Day - the day a ragtag band of British colonists decided they had outgrown Papa's rule and thought to go it alone. The odds against such a thing ever happening at the time was something like on Leave it to Beaver, when the Beave' decides to run away from home. Ward thought it was cute but figured he'd teach little Theodore a lesson and allow him to make good on his plan. Trouble was, Mrs. Cleaver believed the Beaver might just succeed and so did those crazy colonists. Americans have been crazy ever since adopting the bumble bee's philosophy of rising above "expert" opinion and redefining what is possible. Even in celebrating our independence, we Americans defy the odds downing an impossible amount of hot dogs, watermelon and apple pie. We have a whole list of things to do in Florida this July 1, 2, 3, 4 2011 to commemorate that fateful day ranging from parades and potato sack races to just sitting back and enjoying our favorite music. But the great culmination of all this celebrating of our freedom comes at night when every true blooded American watches those fireworks with goosebumps feeling every explosion of color and sound is just for them. That's how freedom feels and why so many today sacrifice all. Because Independence is not free, as the soldier watching those fireworks from a power chair well knows - it was, and has always been the price of their independence that paid for ours.
