CapitalizationReview
the morning of july 4 started just like any other independence day. it was a wednesday morning, and mom and dad did not have to go to work. we planned to go to trinity river in downtown fort worth to see the fireworks display in the evening. however, i was more interested in going next door to mr. and mrs. dixon’s house to see them set off fireworks in their backyard. my mom and dad said that I could go there with my friend allie instead of to the river. well, it was quite the display! unfortunately, one of the fireworks set a tree on fire, and we had to call the fire department to put out the blaze! the fire captain, captain johnson, said that maybe I should have gone into the city instead.
