Antique Cars at Fairfax Parade for Independence Day
Amidst all the busy, we carved out some time to bring some Independence Day to our lives, so I decorated everything I could.

Amidst all the busy, we carved out some time to bring some Independence Day to our lives, so I decorated everything I could.
Two fireworks shows, three picnics, games galore, and handcranking homemade ice cream with a recipe from Mount Vernon for a weeklong Independence Day.
As my kids’ lives became ever busier with work and college, they were glad to settle with old family traditions for Independence Day.
While I was preparing the base, my son was flabbergasted when he saw 4 oz of lemon and vanilla extracts poured into the mixing bowl.
Laying a tarp on top of the deck, we could hand crank ice cream below while listening to the rain drops falling around us.
Although we are more used to BBQing and hand-cranking ice cream in 100 degree sunny heat in Texas than this drenched 70 degree novelty, we conquered both!
With everything bedecked with patriotic red, white and blue, I love hand-cranked ice cream, grilling dinner, George M. Cohan, and fireworks on Independence Day.
