Fourth of July Fun

If I make something anymore it needs to be quick! These are easy, and don't take too much time all at once. They really made our 4th of July barbeque festive. But plan ahead for the jello because each layer needs time to set. Both were big hits, and we just served the jello for dessert.

1 3 oz. pckg berry blue jello
2 c. boiling water, divided
2 c. cold water, divided
