July 4th Celebrations: A Round Up of Inspiring Ideas

July 4th celebrations

Since we were kids Pops has always said Independence Day means summer is over.

I used to think he was being a pessimist (which is NOT at all his nature) when he said that. After all, us kiddos still had 7 more weeks to play!

We love summer in Michigan so much…it just never seems to last long enough.

They are so much fun to do! Gardening is such a stress-buster!!
