4th of July at Mount Vernon

Before the daytime fireworks they had a gun solute. It was really loud. After the fireworks the troops marched out. We got a picture of them marching out.
The smoke from the fireworks. We watched them fromt he back of George Washington's home. They were shot over the Potomac River.
George and Martha Washington said "Happy Birthday America" before they shot off the fireworks.
George Washington in front of the troops. Right before they did a gun solute. It was too loud and Spencer didn't even jump when they shot the guns over our head. We also saw a naturlization ceremony, they brought 100 newest citizens and made them U.S. Citizens, it was really interesting to here what they say. We had a great day at Mount Vernon, celebrating like they would have back on July 4th years and years ago.
