Depending on your family tradition you may spend a day on the water whether that’s by the beach, lake, or pool. Or maybe you have a picnic or BBQ in your backyard and create your own fireworks display.
As of late our family has spent our Fourth of July at our community pool. They put on water games for the whole family, and do face painting and temporary tattoos for the kids. It’s one of the highlights of the summer.
Each year we bring picnic items that we share with the other families, and my husband fires up the grill under the canopy of the trees in the park.
Fireflies dot the sky as dusk falls, and the families pack up their gear to head home.
We set up lawn chairs in our driveway and watchfully allow the kids to light a few sparklers. Then we sit back and watch the neighborhood fireworks display.
It’s a wonderful time to spend with family and friends in the midst of the summer heat.
