Fireworks, Barbecues, and Custom Frames = Best Fourth of July Ever!

The Fourth of July is always full of beaches, barbecues, and being outside. One of the most distinctive parts of the Fourth of July is, of course, fireworks. People cover up with bug spray and bring their picnic blankets to find the perfect spot to “oooh” and “ahhhh” over the fireworks displays. But did you know how fireworks got to be one of the trademarks of the Fourth of July?   While the earliest fireworks were believed to be invented in China back in the 12th century, we have one of our founding fathers, John Adams, to thank for making it a part of our Independence Day celebrations. In a letter to his wife, Adams wrote that he wanted their independence to be marked with parades, games, bells, bonfires and “illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more.” The first time fireworks were set off to celebrate Independence Day was July 4, 1777.   The beautiful colors, sounds, and nostalgia of fireworks make them so well loved.
