Happy Birthday America!

To Celebrate the fourth of July

we went to Harbor Park in Middletown Connecticut,

and watched the fireworks.

They set them off above the Connecticut river.

Isn't that romantic, fireworks over a river?

I LOVE Connecticut.

These were some of my favorites.

They start out small, like stars

Then get bigger like flowers

And as they fall they they remind me of willow trees.

Yes,

These were definitely

my favorites!

After the fireworks we walked to Vecchitto's in Middletown for an Italian Ice.

This was our first time here, as well as our first time trying Italian Ice, and OH MY, have we been missing out!

This stuff is AWESOME! My husband got the watermelon, my son got the root beer and I got the Almond. So naturally we shared and I tried them all. They were ALL delicious!

This is my new favorite place. Thank goodness it is not within walking distance from my house, that would be dangerous! I cannot even begin to tell you how good this stuff is. If you are ever in Middletown CT, and in need of something cold and delicious, you MUST stop here and try it for yourself.
TRUST me you will not regret it!
