The 4th of July marks the anniversary of our move to Astoria. We moved just shy of the holiday two years ago and so the 4th has become our own sort of “Independence Day”. We celebrated in true Wonder style; on our porch with lots of food. Mostly, it was a day of hanging out, reveling in the beauty that is life, and doing everything at a leisurely pace. The photos below are just the highlights.

Two years ago, we discovered that you could see most of the town’s firework display from the empty lot on our block. However, this year, we were treated to the display from our very tangy porch! And while the last photo in the set below isn’t a superior piece of photography, it gives you some idea of the fabulous light show we were graced with last night.

Fireworks was followed by home-made ice cream and then we lit the last remaining sparklers, one for each of us. Glittery little prayers of gratitude for an amazing year.

We certainly had a fabulous 4th of July. We hope you and your family did too!
