In our family, we tend to mark holidays with time together out playing. Here are some simple play ideas to get your family outdoors without much hassle. You can do a 4th of July color walk almost anywhere. But to discover the other patriotic play ideas you'll almost need to be local to Orange County.
Play Idea #1 - Take a walk this 4th of July and notice all the patriotic colors around you!
Idea #2 - Visit a "Blue" Park, a "Red" Park and a "White" Park.
There is an Edward White Park in Fullerton -- but I haven't been yet so I don't have photos. The runner-up playground (that at least has white-colored equipment) is Main Beach in Laguna Beach.
