4th of July Outfits For The Whole Family

Do you buy themed outfits for the 4th of July or let your family wear whatever?! I love a good themed 4th of July roundup, but Juan prefers redneck tanks + cut off shorts. Remember my reality last year?

WHAT I THOUGHT I’D WEAR
WHAT I WORE

Hahaha.

I prefer basics that will look good day of + alll summer long. If you are going to buy a one time wear piece, I recommend keeping your budget down! You can keep it as casual as levi’s + your favorite white tee. Throwing on a pair of Converse or a denim jacket instantly makes an outfit more patriotic.

Here’s a roundup of my favorite 4th of July outfits for the whole family!

4th of July in Midway

We spent the long weekend up in Midway, but we were able to go to the Kaysville parade in our holiday outfits before. I’m digging these new traditions in our new hoooood. We’ve met some dear friends + as we start to put down our roots, I’m giddy about this transition. Which is refreshing because I was starting to second guess our relocation.

when jon changed his shirt, that was my green light to wear this dress i bought for the 4th! HAHAH! aka i didn’t feel quite as guilty once he changed 🙂

The weekend was filled with water balloons, backflip practice, otterpops, outdoor movies (video games for the boys), sleeping under the stars, bike parade that finished just in time for the storm to roll through, fireworks off of monument hill, manicures + a razor ride up to the top of the world! It was sooooo dang good.

jack is quick to make friends but never asks their name. he says i missss my friends so bad when we leave + doesn’t forget to add them to his prayer list!

Grateful for an incredible mother in law who is very intentional with her time + advice. She’s a counselor by profession + I look to her for parenting tips + tricks any chance I can.

Jon is very independent, confident + compassionate – – – I admire the way he was raised. We spent the weekend chatting motherhood, healthy food ideas + she sent me some printouts to help me communicate with the boys a bit better. Fingers crossed for success in raising confident kids + step further away from helicopter parenting. I bought this book immediately when I got in the car on the way home. Looking forward to diving in!

Anyways, overall an increddddible 4th of July with the family! I rode up to Jenna’s wedding with Bre the next day + it was the perfect top to a wonderful weekend. Hope yours was funnnn, too! xx
