is it too late to talk about our 4th of july?

we spent our 4th this year at home

we took an educational approach this year and learned about a different founding father

each day of the week before the 4th (idea from imom)

we also learned the timeline that led up to the signing of the deceleration of independence

the kids (and myself) learned so much and were able to remember it all

we also made a flag cake for the first time :)

and made time for lots of playing and relaxing

this is my husband...my 3rd kid :)

later on we had a scavenger hunt with several hidden scrolls that contain interesting info about our country

this was their idea for this picture :)

the night ended with us watching fireworks outside our bedroom window on the roof of our porch

(my favorite sweet memory of the day)

*i'm convinced that one day we will be celebrating the 4th in philedelphia so i can hear the liberty bell ring :)*
