The Fourth of July always starts with getting up a little too early and heading over to main street to stand in massive crowds in the uncomfortable heat.

It's one of my favorite things about the day.

Goofy little floats made by various groups lazily stroll through the middle of town while people watch and smile. People sell everything from soda to pets to the spectators on the sidewalks. And four jets fly over main street, making the ground rumble as they pass. 

It's one of the best things about my favorite holiday!

What did you do to celebrate the Fourth of July?

Fourth of July is always one of the best times of the year.

That's probably because it's my favorite holiday.

Between parades and family, barbecues and fireworks, and friends and homemade root beer, it's pretty much the best time ever.

And this year is going to be just as incredible as every year before it! I'm so excited!

Have a look at some Fourth of July past!

It's going to be a great weekend full of sparkling festivities!

Have a great weekend!
