Nothing screams Fourth of July like Parades and Fireworks! The days leading up to America’s birthday gets everyone in a good mood! Prepping your fireworks, coolers, and dressed head to toe in red, white, and blue! Although this year’s Fourth of July celebrations might look a little different, that doesn’t mean that we can’t still enjoy all the festivities!
