Celebrating our nation’s 237th<\/sup>\u00a0Birthday, we visited Sand Lake, MI for their annual Sand Lake Days festival. \u00a0Their festval takes place around the Fourth of July every year. \u00a0We watched the village’s small-town charm come to life during their annual Fourth of July Parade. \u00a0After the parade we spent some time at the carnival in the park. \u00a0To cap off the day, we journeyed to Riverside Park in Grand Rapids to watch the city’s annual firework display.
