Happy Fourth: My routine

Independence day is my favorite US holiday... My favorite earth holiday in general. Its a day for celebrating the things we have and the freedom we have fought for. I am an immigrant to the US, when my family moved here I was less than two earth years old so my home on Earth is all I remember. My grandparents on my mother's side were both born on earth but they moved back to Jupiter for multiple years before my mother was born. When she was born they moved to Earth where she was raised. Both my parents were born on Earth and only moved to Jupiter after high school graduation, even though we are Julplii, Earth is our one and only home, and the US is our patriotic glory. Here is my 4th of July routine and some fun 4th of July activities for you to do with your family and friends First things first its time for me to wake up! Chances are I will be all curled up under the blankies in my Nana's arrowhead room. Then Its high time for me to get downstairs and make breakfast for everybody! I'm going to make Stars and Stripes Nice Cream! Here's How!!! Start with two cups of cherries One bunch of bananas And two cups of blueberries Peel and slice bananas and place in freezer bag and freeze overnight Pit cherries and put in freezer bag and freeze overnight Put blueberries in freezer bag to freeze overnight In the morning dump all banana chunks into the blender and pulse five or so times, then add one half teaspoon of vanilla extract and one quarter cup of vanilla coconut milk into blender. Blend until creamy. Remove banana from blender and separate into seven or so smaller bowls, then place in freezer while you finish the recipe. Blend cherries with a splash of vanilla coconut milk and do the same with the blueberries. Put the cherries and blueberries in separate bowls and then remove banana bowls from freezer. Mix a small amount of red and blue to the top of the large bowls of white. Then serve and enjoy... I learned this recipe from Glitterforever17 on YouTube. After I make breakfast we all eat together and plan our day, after that I go take a shower. I don't wash my hair so it's easier to style but I do wash my body and face with my Adagio Cinnamon Oatmeal bar of soap. Then I style my hair with a big sock bun right on top of my head (decorate with a big reddish/pink cheer bow) I add some color to my face with Burt's Bees' lip shimmer in the shade Rhubarb! OOTD I am wearing bright red gym shorts over my swimsuit and a sky blue crop top for a comfortable beachy outfit that will last all day... For shoes I am wearing my Birkenstocks. Then we head down to the Standpoint City Fourth of July parade. I love parades. North Idaho has some weird floats... I mean weird! From Scottish smurfs banging blueberry buckets to trampoline trucks clad with sparkly cheerleaders the Idahoans of Sandpoint know how to make a family of aliens feel at home. After we go to the parade we go get lunch and hang out on city Beach and eat Subway sandwiches. Our hotel is about three blocks from the parade route so we wait until check in time and then claim our spot. The whole family comes out to celebrate and hang out on the 4th of July, we have family from Saturn(my BFF) family from Earth and family from the Astroid belt come and swim in the lake all together, speaking of which here are three fun beach games to play with your family. #1. Hula Oops! Use a plastic cup of water and a hula hoop, have two people hold a cup full of water and twirl a hula hoop for five minutes the person with the most water in their cup after all five minutes wins. #2. In & Out Tag! Have all but one player stand about ten feet away from the water, the last one is it and has to be in almost all the way under water. On go have everyone run into the water, start swimming! If you get tagged you have to get back on the beach. The last one standing is the next it. #3. Scavengers! Give everyone a pair of goggles and pair groups up, the group with the coolest lake bottom treasures at the end of the day wins! After we play for hours and hours we eat a big dinner of stew or chili made by my beloved Aunt M, and then we lay out our quilts to watch the fireworks. The Sandpoint fireworks show is amazing and often afterwards we cuddle up and watch some good old fashioned Disney Channel in the hotel... :) Happy Fourth to all of my readers I love you all and am so happy to be here in a free nation.
