5 Fourth of July Activities for the Whole Family
Summer is fast around the corner and we’re already thinking of all of the great things to do and our favorite holidays. If you want to be sure to have an unforgettable 4th of July with your loved ones, here are a few tips of things you can do with your family and friends:
Have a family reunion
Summer vacation is the perfect time to schedule a family reunion with your extended family. Even more so, if you have family spread around the country and can use the 4th of July holiday as an excuse to get everyone together.
Plan a trip to a great location like the beach or mountains, book an Airbnb, and while you’re at it, why not invest in new 4th of July outfits? We are all long overdue for time with family since the pandemic started, so if everyone is boosted and ready to see each other, you can bet that a family reunion will be the perfect way to spend the holiday.
Go on a road trip
Because the children are out of school and you may have some holiday time off, why not go visit a destination you’ve wanted to see with the family? Whether that’s road tripping to see your family in another city or visiting national parks around the country, road tripping with your loved ones is the perfect holiday plan.
Just make sure to book lodging in advance to be sure you find a safe and clean place to stay along the way. Be prepared with first aid kits, extra water, and make sure to stop for gas long before your tank gets near empty, and this should be a trip your kids will remember for years to come.
Do a kid-friendly barbeque
If you’re just staying in town for a holiday, go ahead and plan a fun barbeque with your friends and the kids as well. If you have a big backyard, why not book some bouncy houses for the kids while the parents enjoy great conversation and drinks? Or you could even book balloon twisters and face painters for this fun summer holiday.
Visit the beach
It’s summertime, and with some time to spare, it’s the perfect month to book a beach vacation, where you and the kids can cool off in the ocean while getting away from your routine. Book a Vrbo or stay at a hotel near the ocean and enjoy this new year shaping up to provide more freedoms than the last couple of years of the pandemic. Pack those swimsuits and fun beach towels and enjoy the fun that only time near the sea can bring!
Check out family-friendly festivals for fireworks
If you want to enjoy the favorite July 4th pastime of fireworks and fun outside, check out family-friendly festivals in your area. In some cases, you may need to book tickets or reserve your spots, so planning is a good idea.
While this may mean investing time and money, why not make it happen if you want to have a proper 4th of July experience this year? Your city more than likely has some plans, so take some time to research local plans.
In Conclusion
We all love a good 4th of July shebang, so if you’re ready to have a fun time with your family this year, these are a few things you can do to celebrate our country’s freedom while spending time with your loved ones. From trips to other states to local plans, you can do plenty of things with your loved ones to have a blast for this summer holiday. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
