As the peak of summer (the fourth of July!) approaches, it’s the perfect time to gather with family and friends to celebrate the patriotic spirit of the season. From Independence Day festivities to relaxing summer evenings, there are countless ways to enjoy quality time together. Let’s dive into some fun patriotic activities you can do as a family and discover some of our favorite Saranoni summer blankets!
- Host a Backyard Barbecue
There’s nothing more quintessentially American than a backyard barbecue. Fire up the grill, prepare some delicious burgers and hot dogs, and enjoy a feast with your loved ones. Lay out Saranoni’s Muslin Quilts to create cozy picnic spots where everyone can relax and enjoy the food.
Patriotic Tip: Make patriotic-themed desserts like berry parfaits or flag-decorated cupcakes to add to the festive atmosphere.
- Watch Fireworks Together
Watching fireworks is a timeless way to celebrate Independence Day. Find a local firework display or set up a safe area in your backyard for your own firework show. Saranoni’s Outdoor Blankets to the rescue! These cozy, water-resistant blankets will keep you warm as the night cools down and the sky lights up with vibrant colors.
Patriotic Tip: Bring along some sparklers for the kids to enjoy before the main firework show begins.
- Organize a Parade
Organize a neighborhood parade with your family and friends. Decorate bikes, wagons, and strollers with red, white, and blue streamers, flags, and balloons. Have everyone dress in patriotic colors (even newborns can join in, in Saranoni swaddles!) and march through your neighborhood, waving flags and playing music.
Patriotic Tip: Hand out small American flags or patriotic-themed snacks to the parade participants and spectators.
