Let us know what you’re doing this 4th of July. What’s your favorite thing to do on our national holiday? Does your family have a special tradition that you’d like to share with us?
My family gets together at Lake Pomme de Terre in Missouri for our family reunion every 4th of July. It's a lot of fun, because there's fun for all of us. Swimming, boating, fishing, camping, motels, and a nice fireworks display. It's hot, but it's worth it!
lake pomme de terre in missouri is nice. were doing that for father day this year. good place to cool off.www.youravon.com/jlangstraat
We go to watch the fireworks out in the country instead of the city. When it is dark there, with no city lights, the fireworks are so much brighter and prettier. A friend of ours lives right next door to the field where the city lets off the fireworks, so we go there every year/ Front row seats, great show, awesome party/time with friends! My 5 year old has a blast there too. There is plenty of room for him to run and play with his friends! I can't wait!
we will be party hopping, everyone else is hosting picnics so we will check them all out!
The kids and I decorate the front yard with (4th of july) decorations and decorate the main part of the house and we make apple pie from scratch and bake cookies and add red and blue food coloring to the sugar cookies and take them to our local fire/police station. We spend most of the day eating hotdogs hamburgers etc then our evening follows going down to the Mississippi River and watching the fireworks
My family has a family reunion on this day. Entire family gets together in one state or another every other year. On the years that the entire family doesn't get together all of our local familys get together at one place or the other. We normally celebrate for 3 days closest to the holiday and when the holiday falls in the middle or the beginning of the week we always barbeque and have the biggest fireworks display on the block. We always watch our city's fireworks display after we have had ours and continue for the next few days with the fireworks. We always take the necessary precautions when using fireworks.
this year we are doing some different things we are going bowling and to the movies and also and to an in door swimming resort
We will light fireworks with the grandkids. Then barbicue pork ribs in Olympia, Washington with Roger.
We usually have a picnic and set off fireworks.
Going to visit one of our sons, staying a while as it will be our first vacation. Going to see fireworks, and grill out.
On the Fourth we all get together at Grandma and Grandpa's house and have a Barbecue watch the fireworks, and the kids get to play in the pool and we get them little sparklers so they can enjoy what it feels like to have fun with the fireworks.
I am going to decorate the front yard with flags and have a picnic with my hubby!
We usually go to one of the hotels and watch the fireworks they set off from the rooftops.
my husband and I were married on the 4th in 2005....we always have red white and blue everywhere!!!!Our bedroom theme is patriotic....
We are Army and we usually travel home that week to spend time with family and watch the fireworks. But this year we are hangin in Louisiana. So I am not sure what we will get into.....any ideas?
We will have a barbeque at home and invite family and friends, then later on the adults will light fireworks for the kids.
We normally go to my parents who live in MS but this year will be different. I haven't got a clue what we are going to do. Hopefully it will come to me before the end of next week.
We attend a block party at my grandparents' house that has been a tradition for over 50 years in P.A. The street is blocked to automobile traffic so the kids are free to play (ride bikes, organized games, dunking machines, crafts, etc.) and the adults are free to mingle with their neighbors that haven't seen all winter (and play games as well; bingo, cake walk, etc.). There's a parade, house decorating contest, everyone eats lunch together and more! I haven't missed one yet in 33 years!
I plan to visit Myrtle Beach for fun in the sun and great fire work shows! I normally will visit the house of blues while I am there. They have a great house band called Entrance that plays great dancing music.Dorine06/24/09 10:25 am
we just moved to a new town/state, and I'm not sure what they have for festivities, but since Cody, Wy is just up the road and it's a tourist town, I'm guessing they will have a fun display to check out! We used to all get together for a big ol' family picnic/ bbq, and go swimming, play horse shoes, eat, talk and have fun waiting for it to get dark before having a mini display of our own and then going to Pokagon State Park in Indiana for their display.

Mixing iced chai tea, creating chocolate fondue, serving chocolate truffle brownies, and dolloping a white chocolate mousse parfait for a Dove Chocolate Tasting party during the day, then fireworks at night with my daughter.
insteadof grilling out we have a hot dog and marshmallow roast right before dark an then set off fireworks
Well i live in NC but orginally from KY so i always go home around thed fourth of july to spend time with my family for a whole week. We do the cookout thing, go out on the boat and go to the lake. We always have alot of fun and i only see them once a year so we make the best of it.
On Independence Day my family always get together for a Family Reunion. We always have the cookout, Thank God for the beautiful day that we has together.we have the whole weekend together and on that sunday we always go to church together.
We will all gather at the lake. We have a camp there and will meet up there to fish and boat, then move along to my sisters place, which has a smaller lake but all the food and fireworks.
