Our family events blogger Emily writes The Queen City Buzz. She is the mom of 3: a 4 year old boy, and 2 year old boy/girl twins. She is not one that is good at staying around the house, so she loves to find events and activities that are fun for her, her children, and her family.

Keep the Fourth fun going!
