The Fourth of July, though an American holiday. was cause for celebration here at our foster home. The children made special hats, and then were given little trumpets to blow and homemade flags and sparklers to wave. Then they paraded through all of the New Day offices. Later on in the day, some of the older kids got to join the rest of New Day for a 4th of July Party, complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, and rice krispie treats.
