Today’s Google logo on its U.S. homepage has been replaced with a doodle to mark the July 4th holiday.

The illustration gives life to all 50 American flag stars as they celebrate Independence Day. They’re doing everything from grilling, playing in a sprinkler, throwing a baseball and riding a bike to a marching band playing music and others just enjoying the day.

The logo leads to a search for “Fourth of July” and includes the usual sharing icon to post the image on social or send via email.

Here’s the full picture to see everything the stars are up to:
