Happy 4th of July! (Well a day late anyway) We took a break from all our home projects just to relax and celebrate with friends and family. The 4th of July is always so memorable to me in that it is almost like a summer thanksgiving. Instead of turkey, we are passing around the burgers, hot dogs, and barbecue. Family and friends all gather together to be thankful for this country we live in while we soak up the summer sun. Little parades and festivals fill the towns, while everyone is sporting the red, white, and the blue. Children run around with sparklers and try to write their names in the air. Adults run out to the road to set off some bigger fireworks as it gets darker. The 4th of July always brings everyone together no matter how different their backgrounds may be to celebrate this free country we live in and it always feels like a magical night.
We enjoyed some time with family and friends during the 4th! This was Caroline's first 4th of July so we let her stay up extra late to enjoy the fireworks at the park. Of course, she didn't mind the noise but she also wasn't that interested in watching the fireworks either. Maybe next year they will catch her attention a little more!
Do you have any fun traditions to celebrate the 4th?
