2. Backyard BBQ
Summertime offers outdoor fun and sunshine, and there is no better way to celebrate all we have than to get together in a backyard barbecue.
Have the kids help in the setup to get them excited about the day’s events. They can even present a line or two each to the guests about the importance of Independence Day and how it came to be.
Red, white, and blue food sets the mood, so try strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream, or American flag sugar cookies.
