Tradition or Spontaneity? What are you doing this year?

Tradition. We're going to the new fairgrounds about 6pm, we'll take a picnic lunch, and grab out seats. We'll eat, listen to som great music, play with the kids, then settle in for fireworks at 9. We've been doing this for about four years (at the old fair grounds) and it's always been a great night for family time.

I have no idea - but it's going to involve recuperating from trying to squeeze a three day month end closing process into two days (can you say two LONG days). And finding a way to get away from the nonstop firecrackers and such that go off in my neighborhood.

I want to leave,but dont want to deal with traffic, we usuallly do the Boy Scout Parade, but I'm not in the mood, my mom made sure I didnt feel welcome coming to her 4th Party celebration, so I was sitting here watching the news,and wondering if its really hateful of me to want it to pour rain all day!

I'll be busy doing nothing for a change!! My idea of doing nothing is sitting in a boat holding a rod and reel.

I'm driving up to see my mom. I can't eally do that unless it's a 3 day weekend because it's a five and a half hour drive. I mean, I could, but I don't want to spend all day driving, visit for a few hours, sleep, then spend all day driving again. I want at least one full day up there. She mentioned kayaking out to the Apostle Islands and camping. Last year I went up and met her at this tiny town's parade where the whole parade goes around twice just to make it seem big. Their mistake was having the (recently fed) horses in the front of the parade. LOL Then at night we go to the beach where we can see the fireworks in Duluth and Two Harbors fireworks from across Lake Superior without having to drive 30 miles or deal with crowds and traffic. Friday night will be the fireworks here and we usually have pretty good ones. I'm going up north Saturday until Monday. The only problem with the fireworks here is a good thing and a bad thing. The park they shoot them off from is across the street from my apartment (and about a half block down). I live on the second level and have a balcony facing them so I get a great spot to watch them. Only problem is that I work at night so when I'm getting home around 9 pm the streets are packed and the one I usually take home is closed so I'll have to go around. The apartment manager sits at the parking lot entrance to keep people from parking here that aren't residents so I have to basically prove myself to be allowed into the parking lot. I don't like that.

Well, depending on the weather , our neighborhood pool has a pool party then we live right near a country club that has a fireworks show so we sit along the bayou and watch the rich folk's fireworks for free!

I'm not sure what we'll be doing this year. My sister invited us camping Fri.-Mon., but we're not really the camping type. So we may just go for one night. Friends of ours keep asking what our plans are, but no one is suggesting anything either. I'm just hoping it's not a big waste of a four day weekend. Happy 4th of July!!!

We usually get a really big family gathering up. Each of us provide all the fireworks we can carry. And we blow stuff up all night. :o) We're supposed to stop at ten.... Now do you want to come to a family of about 70 people most of which are around 6' something and say shh???? :o) Neither do the local P.D. ;o)

I miss being able to do fireworks and sparklers. We are in the city limits. There are fireworks stands on the "border" but if you are caught bringing them back in you get a fine. And the police do hide trying to catch people doing that.
