Every year we celebrate the 4th of July with a big backyard party. I prefer to celebrate it on the 3rd of July and then sit back and relax on the 4th of July!
Smore sticks are becoming my favorite things for backyard parties. They have all the fun stuff a smore would have, minus the ew and goo of melted marshmallow all over the kids!
Fresh lemons in lemonade is a must!
The menu is a vital part to all my parties. It's not a party without lots of good food! This years menu consisted of BBQ beef sloppy-joes, hot dogs, kettle corn chips, grape salad, broccoli salad, potato salad, coleslaw, cheese cake, cupcakes, cookies, water melon, bacon cheese deviled eggs, and lots more yummy food that was brought in by the guest.
I was really hoping the pool was going to be ready in tip top shape for the kids to swim in. Unfortunately it didn't work out according to my plan. As the pool was being filled with water, the liner started to detach, allowing us to only fill it half way. The kids still had a blast and it was kind of a blessing in disguise. I didn't have to worry as much about the kids swimming in 24inches of water opposed to 52 inches of water.
Sparklers are a must! While waiting for the outdoor movie to be set up the kids ran around with their magic wands!
Another fun filled year celebrating the 4th of July!
