eating popsicles
wearing patriotic attire
flying the flag
riding bikes
hitting piñatas
watching fireworks
and enjoying time with family.
God Bless America!
p.s. Did you know the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays? It's true. I still feel the same way about celebrating our independence as a country as I did a few years back when I shared this post, also referenced as Spangled in the list below. -- I hope you give it a read. It is one of my favorite posts from this blog. (The first part is serious and the second is silly; a perfect combo!)
Also, just for fun, here are some posts from Independence Days past:
Also, just for fun, here are some posts from Independence Days past:
- 2010 - videos of Sara with sparklers and pop-its
- 2009 - Sara's first swim

- demolition derby
- ramblings on fireworks

- barbeques up the canyon with family
- breakfast, swimming and/or fireworks with friends
- road trip to visit out-of-State friends
- parades
- lots of yummy food!

Once again, Happy Independence Day to all!
