We celebrated independence day all day long this year. We spent the entire day at our favorite pool. There are indoor and outdoor pools, waterfalls, a giant bucket that dumps water, fountains, water slides, diving boards, platforms, and water jungle gyms.
We had a picnic lunch under our cabana and enjoyed some sun before heading home to BBQ.
Red, White & Blue Cheesecake Parfaits
Diced strawberries
Blueberries
Angel food cake (cut into bite size pieces)
Instant pudding - cheesecake flavor (make per package directions)
Whipped cream topping
Set out ingredients and let everyone layer the delicious goodness in your cup of choice. Clear glasses always work best because it looks pretty!
(there are endless possibilites for these parfaits by mixing and matching any kind of fruit or using yogurt instead of pudding)
The sparkler was a fun touch to start off our fireworks for the evening.
We did fireworks on our street just in front of our house and I have to say, it was amazing! Everyone in the neighborhood was setting off fireworks too so everywhere you looked there were fireworks. The sky was filled with big aerials and up and down the street were ground fountains. It was pretty cool.
After fireworks we all sacked out on the couch and watched a movie. I can't imagine living in a county where even these simple freedoms are not an option. Happy Birthday America!
