What are your plans for 4th of July? Do you have family traditions that you follow every year? Maybe a family picnic or a day on the lake, or watching fireworks? Whatever it is, hope you all have a wonderful day!
I’ll be spending the day catching up on sleep, and the evening with the kids watching fireworks ……maybe even enjoy a few adult beverages
Speaking of adult beverages, click here for a list of 28 summer cocktails with recipes from Delish.com. I think I’m going to try the Berry Mojito…yum!
Hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day!!
Be safe!
Happy 4th to you and your family!!! We BBQ for friends and Family, then fireworks at night..
Happy 4th of July to YOU! We are with my family in Newport Beach, California…HUGE block party with water slides, watermelon eating contest, freeze dance, jumpies, taco truck, etc. Walk out to the bay at night to see the fireworks. It’s a fun and perfect day!

My husband and I will take a day off for ourselves. May go up to Scottsdale to spend the night at one of the resorts and have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

It’s too hot for us to do much outside (even though last year we did go fishing early in the morning). The plans this year are to stay indoors, probably watch the concert and fireworks from Washington DC on PBS, and stay hydrated. Maybe they should change the celebration to January 4th for us desert dwellers! Happy Birthday, America!!
These are cute decorations. I haven’t ever had a mojito but it looks inviting.
Happy 4th! Have a wonderful celebration! We used to do big celebrations, but now everyone’s gone, so we have quiet, relaxing celebrations
Looks like a lovely 4th of July party setting .
Enjoy your special day !
Love the adult beverage recipe list
Happy 4th of July to you too! I am planning on taking my girls to see fireworks this year!

Happy 4th !
As a child we would attend a minor league baseball game (Denver didn’t have a major league team when I was a little girl) and they always followed the game with fireworks. One of my favorite memories was of a man named Mr Oser. He owned a company that was eventually purchased by Orkin. Mr. Oser was very wealthy, and he would come to the Bears baseball game in old clothes, smoke a big stogie, sit in the cheap seats, and then drive away in his Cadillac! (heck, if you were under 16 you could attend every home game for $1 a season!) The only games that were sold out were when they had fireworks. One 4th of July the stadium was filled, and those of us “regulars” who had unreserved seats were un-seated by people who actually paid for them! So Mr. Oser purchased a box (yes a box) and we all went and sat down next to the field to watch the game and fireworks! RIP Mr. Oser.
Happy 4th of July Veronica! We’re staying home this year. We’ll out for a nice dinner and watch the fireworks from our backyard.
Happy 4th of July!
I hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July!
We don’t really have any family traditions for 4th of July but I plan on cooking out on the grill, let the kids play outside and then later on tonight watch the fireworks the neighbors will light off! Hope you have a great 4th!
