John Adams thought that one day in this country we would have wonderful celebrations on the Fourth of July. This way we could honor the establishment of our great country, and there would be music, games, speeches, and fireworks. Mr. Adams should be proud of this country. We indeed celebrated by visiting a local baseball game where the Sliders (away) played the Beach Boys (local). The local boys won 3 to 0! At the ball park there was music, fly-overs by the Blue Angels, and patriotic movies showing and reminding us all of what is great about this country. Particularly moving was the one on the sacrifices made by our men and women in the military for the past 230 years. Finally, we were all delighted by a wonderful fireworks show with the many colored explosions and booms. It was a spectacular evening and great fun to boot. Mr. Adams would have enjoyed the whole evening and felt that Traverse City had worked hard to celebrate this Forth of July.
As we drove home, the car was filled with happy comments on this wonderful evening. We all hope each of you found a way to celebrate your country's birth and made Mr. Adams happy in your community. Happy 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
