Top Ten Things I Think of When I Think of the 4th of July

10. The Beach - Its the beginning of July, most likely the hottest month. Time to hit the beach!

9. Hot Dogs, Burgers and Steak - There is nothing like enjoying a good BBQ. Weather it be with your family or friends.

8. Family Time - The forth of July is a great time to get together with your family. Weather you go boating, have a BBQ or watch the fireworks.

7. Road Trip - Usually I take a road trip with my family. We usually go somewhere where we can see the fireworks from up high.

6. Parade - Usually your town will have some sort of parade. I know this town I used to live in, Traverse City had an amazing parade every year that ran for about a week and it started on the 4th of July.

5. Red, White and Blue - The colors of the good old American flag.

4. Declaration of Independence - Well for this is the reason we have the holiday in the first place.

3. Sparklers - I though i'd give sparklers their own number because you cant have a 4th of July celebration without sparklers.

2. Fireworks - The second best part of the 4th of July is the amazing fireworks you get to watch! With all the different arrays and colors how could you not have an amazing experience.
