WOOO! It is the 4th of July!

Now that this awesome holiday is here, we all will openly get to celebrate the United States of America’s Independence.  So how else are we going to do it?! The old-fashioned American way, that’s how.  Also known as blowing stuff up and having a barbecue.

1.) Summertime Drinks

The Key with these drinks is to make everyone feel the experience of being at the beach. So, bright & vibrant colors will help a lot. I would use the tiny umbrellas too, but I digress. If you are already at the beach for the 4th of July, then are one lucky person. (I will just watch the crazy videos you upload on YouTube, here in the desert).

2.)Summertime Jams

Are you that one person that always has a great play mix on? or do you know someone who does?  Well grab your stereo, plug your smartphone in and crank up those patriotic 4th of July tunes. If you need a little more inspiration check this out.  Remember, music sets the mood of your BBQ and will make or break the occasion.

3.) Summer Side Dishes

Yes, we are saying side dishes are essential.  Then again when was the last time you went to a 4th of July BBQ and didn’t have watermelon, corn on the cob, fruit salad, potato salad, or even candy?  This gives your guests food to munch on while they wait for the main course.

4.) ♫♫Give meeee my BABY BACK RIBS!♫♫

People love eating with their hands, especially when it comes to Ribs.  Literally they won’t care how far away the nearest wet nap is.  You can say goodbye to the 10 pounds you thought would be enough for everyone. If you are not fond on this idea, go with a more traditional approach: Hamburgers and Hot Dogs or something different.

5.) Fireworks! Duh!

Well not duh. Unfortunately, some municipalities forbid even safe & sane fireworks. Please check your local laws prior to getting any crazy ideas. If they allow it, have a blast! haha! These puns are explosively easy to make. Just one more finish this article with a boom! Okay okay, I’m done with these. Thank you for reading, I hope this article blew you away.

Happy 4th of July!
