Ways to Enjoy a Wonderful 4th of July

Here is a list of some ways to enjoy the 4th of July:

1. Decorate patriotically.  If you like to do your own crafts, there are plenty of websites that will give free patterns or tutorials on how to complete the craft.

2. Go to a parade.  It's a fun time had by all.  See the floats that creative people have designed and put together, collect candy and enjoy the time with family.  Check local papers for times of community parades.

3.  Cook-out.  Invite family and friends over for a BBQ.  Ask people to bring a side dish to share.  Go to a party store to purchase patriotic plates, napkins, cups, etc.

4. Make a simple patriotic treat.  Rice Crispy Treats with red, white and blue marshmallows (but you will have to make the different colors separately.)

5. Watch fireworks.  Watch as the skies are lit up with the amazing colors of the fireworks.  If you don't want to get in the traffic after the fireworks, ride bicycles to where they are being held or watch the high ones from afar.  Check local newspapers for times of community firework shows.
