4th of July at Home in the RV

Just in time for Independence Day, Governor Abbot says, “Texas is open…almost.” Practically no outdoor fireworks displays in Texas just yet*, but lots of fun for everyone anyway.

Here’s a great way to spend Independence Day…

  • Jump in the pool!
  • No pool where you are? Get squirt guns and re-enact Washington crossing the Delaware. Pro Tip: The 13 Colonies (that’s us) win!
  • Wear red, white or blue t-shirts
  • Grill All-American favorites like hamburgers, hotdogs and corn-on-the cob
  • Make a big bowl of potato salad and place some little American flags in it
  • Treat the family to a red, white & blue dessert!

Red, White & Blue Dessert:

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
