On our Independence Day we can gather and feel united. We celebrate our freedom and can do so in a variety of ways. Whether it's visiting one of our local events in town or hosting a BBQ for your friends and family, there's a million ways to have fun this holiday. Scour the stores for anything red, white and blue. Some of our favorites have been temporary tattoos and hair accessories. Sparklers and poppers are always a hit, too. I've gathered a collection of activities, recipes and games that are fun for the whole family.
