Fourth of July Milkshake Recipe

Not only that, I’m absolutely making it again for the Fourth of July, and for every party ever. July 4th is special to us for a variety of reasons. It’s the weekend I met Cassidy 18 years ago – and saw my first moose. It’s always been a big deal in my family. When I was a kid, my parents would throw epic July 4th parties. Along with the seven of us in total, what seemed like hundreds of loved ones would arrive in twos and fours – armed with coolers, freshly baked pies, and cold summer salads. We had a giant, kidney-shaped pool and people would put out their towels on our lawn. I don’t think you could see even an inch of green lawn – because the entire lawn was covered by colorful towels and happy people. The food was totally the most memorable part!
