As a family, one of the best traditions we have is heading the the United States each 4th of July. We became citizens of that great country during our years in Tennessee and all four children are dual citizens.
Typically, we pack the minivan up and head to some town in Montana or North Dakota on the 3rd. We spend a couple of night in a hotel which thrills the kids. And on the 4th take in the Independence Day Celebrations.
The fireworks are always awesome, generally beginning in backyards mid-afternoon and wrapping up with an official ceremony in around10:00pm.
This year we went to a "Bump n' Run" car race in Glendive. The race is part smash-up derby, part regular race and is quite exciting. We had near seen a car race before so this was a totally new experience.
On the 5th we ventured into the Makoshika State Park which literally runs up to the town of Glendive. Incredible badlands, fantastic hiking trails and awe inspiring vistas are the norm in this park.
For you Saskatchewan readers, Glendive is only about 5.5 hrs south of Regina and well worth the trip.

Glendive is great. We went there a few years ago and had a wonderful time.
