Well Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! We hope you all have some fun times planned with family and friends. We have watermelon, barbecue, and fireworks in our future here on the farm and I can't wait! Stay safe and we will see you all back here on Monday.
How do we celebrate the 4th of July here on the farm? Well good food and barbecue is a no brainer. Small home town parades, inflatable water slides, family from all over the country, lots of lavender and honey bees, fireworks, and silly string. I wish all of our Lavender Apple friends could join us.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend full of fun, family, and friends. Happy 4th of July!

Here are some fresh and very tasty ideas of how you can ramp up your food ideas for the fourth.

As a parent, you are bound to get persuaded into fort building on quite a regular basis. Spending so much time underneath my kitchen table reading and pretending, gave me a great idea. My husband loves when I come up with an idea on my very own - no pinterest needed! Haha. I decided to paint a sky on the underside of our kitchen table!
This was the perfect easy afternoon craft. You simply flip your table over and freehand whatever storms, clouds, stars, whatever your imagination can think up. And as you can see from the smudges, our son got involved too! We used acrylic paint, which is inexpensive, durable, and dries quickly. I was unsure if my son would love it, but he has spent every single day playing under our table "in his cave" since the day we painted it. It was so quick and cheap and he has gotten so much enjoyment from it.
And the best part is, when he gets bored with it, we can simply paint over it and add new characters or scenes and it will be like new to him again! I also love that when our table is sitting in our kitchen and company comes over, my house looks perfectly clean and orderly, but there is a world of fun still available to our little man. Give it a try on your kitchen table and you won't regret it!
