Family traditions are very important. You do not realize how important they are until you are able to share them with your own children. I am blessed to be able to share my tradition of the 4th of July with my children. The 4th of July has always been a very special holiday to me. Growing up we would have the family tradition of going to our summer camp and spending time with family. The BBQ and fire pits would stay going the whole weekend long. This was common place growing up. We would swim all day, and do sparklers at night by the fire pit. As I got older it is a tradition that has continued with my brothers. We would continue the tradition of getting together and going camping together for the weekend. I so truly cherish all of the memories, and enjoy even more being able to look back at the photographs and laugh at the memories created by all of the good times. As the years progressed we shared our tradition and special time with our boyfriends/girlfriends and then our spouses. We still continue the family tradition of camping for the 4th of July. Our children have known no other way of celebrating this beautiful holiday other than camping with each other by the fire pit, while watching the fireworks and doing sparklers. Everyone becomes eager with anticipation as the time for the great holiday approaches. Creating new memories each year makes it all worthwhile. I can hardly contain my excitment as it is now that time of year once again. Get the campground ready, here we come!!!
