[quote=Anonymous]I wonder of some of this is the lens of viewing the day as an adult. As a kid I loved going to the town fireworks on a lake, everyone picnicked on the grass beforehand, the ice cream truck came, etc. There was also a parade during the daytime and my sibs and I would march as part of girl/boy scouts. Here my neighborhood in Bethesda has a little parade which at first seemed super dinky to me, but once my kids were old enough to ride bikes in it, it felt more charming :-) We often do a cookout with neighbors in the evening. But, there is no question the holiday feels a lot quieter than I remember my own July 4ths as a kid. I have often thought, though, that is likely because I am an adult now and viewing the “celebrations” differently. [/quote]
