things to do on the fourth of july.

Hello!

Happy almost Fourth of July!

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays you guys.

I don't know if it's just the nostalgic summer days, BBQ picnics, romantic fireworks or what-

but I just love it all. 

So today I wanted to share some fun Fourth of July date ideas that are fun for you and your love- or the whole fam too!

As you can see from these photos, Liam is very patriotic and can't wait to celebrate America!

Fourth of July day time ideas:

- Scout out your home town parade!

- If it's hot out, do a fun ice cream crawl to a bunch of your fav dessert spots!

- have a patriotic picnic decked out with red, white and blue dishes!

- Rent a cabana poolside at a local resort, hello staycation!

- Get up early and head to the beach- make sure and snag a bonfire pit for a BBQ!

- Rent bikes and do a food tour near your closest downtown area!

- Have a water party- grab a slip and slide, water balloons and let the kiddos run wild!
