Fourth of July Festivities

The fourth of July in our home is a fairly casual holiday, filled with family, food and fireworks. We don't slip into our red and white tea length linen dresses, and seersucker dress pants (however, if you do more power to you) instead we beat the heat in shorts, festive t-shirts and our comfy cotton dress. This year we will be participating in the Greeley Stampede Parade, grilling up goodies with the fam and at dusk enjoying the Windsor fireworks. Northern Colorado has an unbelievable amount of events happening this Independence Day, below is the list of some of the festivities. Happy 4th of July and welcome to Northern Colorado Mom!
