July 4th is a great holiday when most of our neighbors get together and enjoy a backyard BBQ and some good old-fashioned fun in the pool. Throwing an Independence Day party can be easy if you follow some of my simple tips.

Relaxing in the sun. Cool, clear blue water. Calls of loons. The crackle of the campfire. Laughter of loved ones. Nothing beats celebrating the Fourth of July up north at the cabin!

When July 4th rolls around, you’ll find our family doing the same thing we do every year: celebrating by the beach!

Gill a few brats and bake up fresh shortcakes...and you’re in for a superior all-American Independence Day blast - lake style!
