The 4th of July is right around the corner. So probably you're scratching your head and pulling out your hair thinking of some good 4th of July picnic ideas. Isn't there anything better than spending the afternoon to the evening of the Fourth at your nearest park, with the entire family and a cachet of picnic baskets and other paraphernalia, with nothing to stress you out except the possibility of enjoying yourself too much that you'll miss out on the fireworks? Have you tried everything and are in dire need of some great ideas for the Fourth? Read this quick article and whether you're a red-blooded American or not, you can make the Fourth of July count and make it special for your entire family.
To help you, consider these simple yet fun picnic ideas.
Represent. No, you! Seriously, this means focusing on the 4th of July theme to the hilt, and making the red, white and blue of the Stars and Stripes reflect in every ice cube, every paper plate, napkin or table cloth you use for the occasion. You can make your deserts and foods with these colors as well. Color is the key to everybody's additional enjoyment.
Dress up! That's right - you can invite people to your picnic and advise them to dress in the appropriate costume that would truly represent the historical value of the Fourth. Dad can come in riding on horseback yelling "The British are coming!" like Paul Revere, Mom can dress like flag architect Betsy Ross, while boys can come dressed like young George Washington - "Father, I cannot tell a lie." You can even keep it simple and dress like Uncle Sam. Picnics are all about enjoyment and this is a creative way to make sure people enjoy while reliving America's rich history.
Water fun for everyone. Let's face it, not everyone will be comfy at the park with the July sun shining down on them, so why not have some water fun instead with a 4th of July picnic at the poolside? Let the kids get out the sprinklers and the wading pool. Get yourself into a water balloon fight. Go for a dip in the local lake or take a trip to the ocean. Give your outdoor excursions a twist with this tip.
Don't limit yourself to the above when considering different 4th of July picnic ideas. Everybody has their own way of celebrating, so being yourself and letting your personality shine is key. Enjoy this special occasion with your intimates and kick back while away from work for a bit. And as you wait outdoors for the "skyrockets in flight" to show up, make your "Afternoon Delight" complete with great food, hearty laughter and music to match the occasion.
