Tomorrow’s the big day- when we will brave the 100+ temperatures to make the most of our mid-week July 4th holiday to glimpse some breathtaking fireworks. Independence Day is possibly my most favorite holiday. To celebrate, my family and I will join thousands of others at Tulsa River Parks, just like when I was a little girl. And as we did way back when, we will be bringing along a picnic dinner to share.
There are so many great picnic baskets and insulated bags these days, that it is hard to choose which to use!

1. Picnic Time Picnic Basket, Yellowstone Moka - Macy’s
2. Pioneer Picnic Basket - Target
3. Malibu Picnic Pack, Moka – Target
4. Milano Insulated Tote – Outdoor Posh
5. Gray Willow Picnic Basket – World Market
Or you can use other baskets as a picnic basket. A wire basket is a charming way to head out for your 4th picnic.
