My favorite Fourth happened when I was a kid, and we decorated our bikes with streamers for a neighborhood bike parade. I worked so hard to cover every lovin' inch of that bike with red, white, and blue. I had cards in the spokes, braided the tassles on the handlebars, and I would have woven sparklers in the basket if only my Mom had said "yes". I remember feeling so proud of being part of something big, like a parade. I think we made a double lap around the parking lot of our town-house complex. What was your favorite Fourth?
