4th of July and Summer Barbeques

By Carrie Hotte June 22, 2021

Happy summer!! School is out! We are officially half way done with 2021! Can you believe it? 

I love summer. It's filled with warm air, sunny skies and lots of family barbeques. In need of a festive dish, be sure to check out our Recipe Round Up!

One of my favorite summer celebrations are watching the 4th of July fireworks. It has been a family tradition for some years now to go out to Szot Park football field and let the kids run wild while waiting for the fire works. It was a huge disappointment to miss last year but we are so excited to have the celebration back this year. You can learn more about this event HERE!

While football seems to be a fall/winter sport, we signed my son up for flag football this summer with Chicopee Galaxy and are so excited to see him playing sports again. Our kids missed out on a lot of sports last year due to covid so we jumped at the chance to get him playing again. Come show support for our kids and get your car washed this weekend! My son and hubby will be there from 1-2.  You can find out more about the Chicopee Galaxy Carwash HERE! If you can't make it down to our car wash and still would like to support our team and organization, consider purchasing a raffle ticket for a Blackstone grill with griddle and air fryers HERE!

 I am so excited to see our community hosting more events and coming together more. I hope to see you all out and about this summer. If you see me, please don't hesitate to say hi!! It's so nice to be social again!! 


Love, 

Carrie

Pleasure to Meet You!! 

Hi, I'm Carrie. I have been with my husband Matt for over 10 years and we have 5 children and a fur baby.  I'm originally from Chicopee and although I have moved around a few times in my life, we have been living in our home in Aldenville for 9 years now.  My family and I love our neighborhood and enjoy connecting with others.   When I am not homeschooling our 4 youngest children, I enjoy hiking, exercising, reading and traveling.
