Happy 4th of July thanks to 7000 dominos

I was looking for YouTube footage of the 4th of July parade in Hannibal, Missouri, one of my most memorable 4th of July's ever, when I came across this marvelous effort that worked. Flippy Cat didn't set up the dominoes, but he makes a comment about them. Very cool.

Here are two other top 4th of July's.

Sitting in the car in the cemetery in Philipsburg, Montana with my husband and two kids watching fireworks go off from various parts of town. There wasn't an organized fireworks display, just random people doing their own thing. My son who was four at the time said, "This is a fireworks festival." About the cemetery. We aren't morbid. The cemetery is the highest point of the town, thus has the best views.

At Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts with my family and friends on a trip back through time to 1790-1840 for a reading of the Declaration of Independence in the town square. This historic village is one of the best I've been to and worth the trip.

Hope your 4th of July is swell. If you can swing it one day, there's nothing more fun than a small town parade where candy is thrown like confetti.
