the fourth of july

How do you know that you're in the South for Fourth of July? 

The parade consists of various cars and wagons filled with hillbilly impersonators and 
a bajillion beauty pageant toddlers.
The fair is held in a field that is packed with seep-in-between-your-toes mud.
The BBQ plate you wait forever in line for doesn't come with any BBQ sauce.
(gah! These NC'ers like this vinegar water mixture on their pork. yuck.)
Fireworks don't start til 10pm because it gets dark so late.
You get eaten alive by mosquitos.

What a Fourth!!! Honestly, it was fun. We had a cook-out with our friends the Bundys.
We ate our weight in caramel corn balls.
We played with sparklers in the front yard.
Truly fun.
