The Girls Baked an American Flag Cake in honor of the Day they signed the Declaration of Independence.
Let’s Celebrate Independence day two days early, by revisiting this Nation’s history of Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence.
But let’s stay cool, so bring whatever water toys and small buckets too.
