Plus, your children will love feeling a part of the big event as they race through the yard with sparklers singing “God Bless America” in their finest threads. While you’re thinking about it, throw in a backup outfit at check-out too. With all the ketchup and ice cream, your all-American fam might need a costume change to live their best Independence Day.
