I am very big on traditions (as my hubby can tell you). I love them! I want my kids to be able to say "remember when mom made us do ....every year!" I want them to want to come back for holidays because it would not be the same if we didn't..... So my tradition for the 4th of July is for everyone to wear tie die shirts. Every year we spend the 4th at the lake with my in laws (who are gracious enough to go along with my traditions). The first year I decided to die the shirts the kids and I did not use enough die. The next year we dipped them and they were great!! Then I washed them and they were not so great! The next year my sister in law volunteered to die them (they turned out better). This year we gave it another shot. I am hoping for the best! I talked to several master tie diers and got tips from the internet. You will have to wait for the 4th of July post to see how they turn out. The funny thing to me about my tradition is that it has really changed from just wearing the shirts to making them every year.
