Here's a fun 4th of July activity to do with your kids this weekend. My toddler loves to paint, color, and draw (outside the lines of course!) as most kids do. I wanted to find something creative to do with him for the 4th of July and thought something to do with fireworks would be perfect. I found this great idea from www.learning4kids.net/2015/12/27/painting-fireworks/ and couldn’t wait to give it a try.
Growing up I had the best time celebrating the 4th of July with my Dad and Papa mostly because of one thing. Fireworks! Yes, this is the holiday to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence but it is also to celebrate our freedom to blow stuff up! Right? Or maybe that’s just me.
My Dad and Papa lived next door to each other and I remember them throwing firecrackers and shooting bottle rockets over the fence at each other screaming & laughing hysterically. Granted this was back in the good ol’ days when you played outside until it was dark, drank water from the hose & rode your bike all over town. Nowadays my Dad and Papa probably would have the cops called on

After we created the firework masterpieces, I tried to explain to my son that we would see lots of fireworks over the weekend. I told him they would make loud “kaboom” sounds and have so many pretty colors, just like his paintings. He was so happy about the idea but still confused at the same time so I showed him a few videos on Youtube. His face lit up when he saw the fireworks bursting along to music in the videos. He would look wide-eyed at the video & then point to his paintings while shouting “Fah-wurk! Fah-wurk!”. Hopefully this will be a nice introduction to this holiday's loud spectacle. Last year he was too small to understand or even be afraid of the explosive sounds. This year I’m hoping he enjoys the beauty and excitement of the fireworks like I did as a young boy and still do to this
On every 4th of July my family always hosted a 4th of July party. All of my friends would always be out there and we would have tons of fun. 4th of July is when we gained our independence so whenever someone refers to red, white, and blue I always think of our flag.
4th of July is a time for good food, fireworks and patriotism. The 4th of July celebrates Independence Day. It’s a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the declaration of independence. It’s a time for carnivals, fairs, and barbeques. What’s great about the fourth of July is that it gets everyone outside, and it also brings people together for a good time. Everyone has different traditions for the 4th, which is what makes it great. Every 4th I do the same thing because its almost like a tradition in my family. Every year my family comes over, and my dad cooks really good BBQ. After we eat really good food we light off many firework in our yard. It’s a tradition that sounds simple and basic. But it’s a tradition nonetheless, and its
Two basic types of fireworks are the firecracker and sparkler. Firecrackers are simply made of rolled paper tubes with black powder, which is made of a strong oxider, and a fuse, which adds heat to the oxider, resulting in a “boom”. Sparklers are just a little bit different--they are essentially a long fuse with black powder around it, so they stay lit longer and show color. The color comes from a reaction with specific metals like aluminium, copper, and zinc(How Are Fireworks Made?). The fireworks that most professional shows contain are known as the aerial fireworks. They are normally made of shells containing black powder, the mortar itself, stars, shell, bursting charge, and fuse. The stars in the fireworks are spread out in the shell and they create the sparkling like figure. The bursting charge is in the center and when the lit fuse hits it, the firework explodes (How Are Fireworks Made?). Some also use multi break shells to create different
The Fourth of July is a national celebration of the United States independence. It has been commemorated by American’s since 1776. Since the 18th century, Americans have been using picnics, speeches, parades, and a variety of many other activities to rejoice their independence from Britain. These celebrations emerged after the Declaration of Independence was signed in the summer of 1776. This holiday has been a journey for American’s to show their patriotism and fight for their basic civil rights and liberties.
Every year on a special day we celebrate America's Independence from britain's rule. We sailed the ocean to get to this gorgeous country to start over and be who we want to, that means worship who we want and love who we want. Now for the first 15 to 20 years the newly freed country did not celebrate this day because it was very new to them and there was still a lot of new things happening to this freshly founded nation. In 1870 congress decided to make the fourth of July a national holiday.Since then people on that day have parties and festivities with family and friends. A great man wrote this quote describing the imagery you can imagine on the fourth of July:
The Fourth of July is the nation’s birthday, but it is also a time for everyone to get together and mingle for hours on hours. Countless number of friends and family get together on the beach for barbeques, parties, watch the sun set sink away and have an amazing night full fireworks. Having the chance to have spent my 2015 Fourth of July along Ft. Lauderdale beach was the best time of my life. It brought such joy and excitement to be able to spend the holiday with family and friends.
When the Fourth of July comes around some families celebrate when America got freedom. Some families will get together, they have a tradition of going to watch the fireworks during the night of the Fourth of July.People celebrate this certain day because it is the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. That is when the Americans were free and had their own rights. At the sametime is it the best time to be making memories with family.
The 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular, which is set to music performed by the Oakland Symphony, promises to be a crowd-pleaser. Come early to see the “Salute to Hometown Heroes” video before the fireworks at 9:30pm.
There is an old-line of the Chinese fireworks, which is tightly combined with varieties of celebrations and festivals in China. Especially, Liuyang is known as “the home of fireworks and firecrackers” and good at making varieties of fireworks. And fireworks and firecrackers has become the pillar industry of Liuyang.
It took the Arab Army to realize that the Israel has launched an offensive attack on Arab position and are capturing the certain key points and cities. This lead to Arab by setting up a defense area in hope to counter-attack against Israel Army, but it did eventually lead to failure because of Israel's tactics from their generals smarter than the Arab generals. The remains of the Jordan's army with the survivors of the Guard Army and few remaining tanks to defend the region of the Golden area (Oren 257). Before that happens, Jordan Air Forces have attacked the Israel Army and others, leading to the Israel's Air Force to counter attack the Jordan planes (“The Six-Day Wars”). At the same time, the Israel's Air Force will help the ground units to complete the offensive
It was the very first time we did not see the 4th of July fireworks, we did indeed not see them ever before. Fireworks must have been ripping the sky above Manhattan and thousands of spectators were staring at them. But my wife and I were peacefully snoring on the queen-sized airbed in the hot as a stove room in concrete jungles of Brooklyn.
That is interesting, I had no idea there was a holiday known as Citizenship Day in the past and one that continues on. I've never heard of anyone celebrating something like that, heck, we get school off for Martin Luther King Jr Day but not Constitution day? The Constitution is indeed pretty short; it can be read within an hour easily. The U.S. Code of Laws continues to grow bigger and bigger which leads me to believe the idea of having to renew laws as you mentioned to be pretty intelligent as laws should change as society changes. We already breached Washington's Farewell Address of 1796 "to have with them as little political connection as possible" with regards to foreign nations as soon as World War 1 started. The faction
I came back in town for the Fourth, but Atlanta doesn't seem to have as abundant firework displays as California. They canceled two firework events this year and I LOVE gazing into the sky at the kaleidoscope of colors. I stated, "People, this is America and even though the South was butt-kicked by the North, it's time to man up. No, you can’t have your slaves back, nonetheless pick up a damn sparkler and light it!" Personally, since Trump left the country it was an evening to celebrate. (No offense if you're a Trumpster.)
October 24, 1929, is a day that will always be remembered as Black Thursday. This is the day that the Stock Markets crashed and caused America to go into The Great Depression. The drop of consumer spending, pile up of unsold goods, and stock prices constantly raising are the reasons for this crash. The downturn in spending and investment caused factories and other businesses to slow down production and construction and start firing employees. As for the ones who were not fired, their wages and buying power decreased. Many people who were forced to buy on credit fell into debt, and foreclosures and repossessions rose steadily. By 1930, 4 million people looking for a job could not find one, and by 1931, that number increased to 6 million. The countries industrial production had been dropped by half, as bread lines, soup kitchens, and homeless people
And also I was cry because people said it was dangerous if you swallow the gun powder of the fireworks or fire cracker. I was eat a lot of foods and drink water so that the gun powder was los and I think that time I was okay then I feel comfortable so that I didn’t played again with the fireworks because I was afraid. That is my very sad Christmas day in my life. And we also create a huge sound or loud noise in the house the ghost will go out for our house and go to the place quiet area and to let go or away the ghost and the unlucky of our life. And was I experience of firecracker there are different design and explosion but this is dangerous things. It is important to know that we are celebrating the and New
