We will start our day at the local 4th of July parade, followed by a lot of fun in the sun, and of course eating! I'm sure all afternoon I will hear the popping of fireworks, due to the fact that my husband and kids are obsessed! In the evening the kids will be ready to break out the sparklers. When it gets dark we'll all stand around and "OOH" and "AAH" at the big fireworks. Here is hoping you have a great Independence Day whatever your plans are.
