we live in jacksonville fla and are going to visit friends in orlando for a picnic and red hot and boom
Every year our family travel to spend the 4th with friends. This year we are having all friends spend the fourth with us. It should great, we will have everything for a perfect day. Good friends, good food and we'll have good times!
Every year we spend the 4th with our friends, but this year we decided to have everyone spend it with us!It should be great. Good friends, good food and good times. The perfect combination.
This year we have the pleasure of having family here in Connecticut from Georgia. July 2nd & 3rd, I am taking them to fireworks, then the 4th we are having a picnic.
We light fireworks off in our back yard.
We like to celebrate our daughters birthday, usually with a family picnic
Every 4th of July my whole family gets together early in the day for fun and laughter. The men handle the bbq and the ladies supply everything in between. At the end of the day we gather at the local Veterans Park for fire works. A perfect end for a perfect day.
My parents, siblings and I used to go out on the lake in our boat with a bunch of friends and have a big party BBQ and watch the fireworks. But I just recently got married, my husband is in the air force and stationed in Japan so now this year I get to got camping on the beach BBQ and lite off a truck load of fire crackers. 
Usually we attend an all day party at our neighborhood pool. This year we will instead, attend a "Tea Party" to listen to political speeches, eat bbq, and later watch fireworks. My teenagers are just beginning to become politically aware and want to become envolved and demonstrate their love of our country.
I always join my daughter and her family, we all bring food, watch a movie, enjoy the grand children. After dark I watch all of them shoot fireworks (Ipersonally don't do that any more) I enjoy watching them. But I do supply a lot of the fireworks. Occasionally we go somewhere else to watch a major firework display.
Used to have a lake house on Lake Shafer...and spent every 4th of July there. Don't have that anymore, so I'll probably sit alone at while my husband is recovering from his umpteenth surgery this year. So much for any excitement in my household. Probably mucking horse stalls for all I know!!
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.
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.
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.
insteadof grilling out we have a hot dog and marshmallow roast right before dark an then set off fireworks

we will be party hopping, everyone else is hosting picnics so we will check them all out!
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.
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.
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 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!
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 will have a barbeque at home and invite family and friends, then later on the adults will light fireworks for the kids.
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?
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 usually go to one of the hotels and watch the fireworks they set off from the rooftops.
