I of course cannot win but I want to participate too to get things started.

Here is a link to my patriotic profile: LINK

And this 4th of July is going to be much like all our others we have celebrated since we moved here 6 years ago. Our town does the 4th real nice and it is the best thing about living here I think. In the morning we start off with a pancake breakfast at the fire station where we get our fill of pancakes, sausage and tampico (fake orange juice LOL). Next we head on over to downtown to find a shady spot on the curb to watch the parade. Entries range from local boy scouts, horse and auto clubs and really anyone that wants to enter. This year DH might be driving a float for his work, not sure on the details yet. The kids will be tossed candy and other goodies and a good time will be had by all. After the parade we will head on over to one of the parks for free lunch and contests and games. Favorites are strong man competions, mud vollyball (followed by a mud free-for-all) and sidewalk chalk contest. After that we will come home for some grilling and downtime (naps) and then head on out at dusk to the local events center for free fireworks show, games of fisbee and and football, dancing, eating, and hanging out. Then we will come home and crash! LOL

On the 3rd is when they hold the major fireworks here. So we will be watching them from our driveway, and watching neighbors. We will probably grill hamburgers & dogs on the 4th. We might go hang out at the pool all day, then we will watch fireworks from the river come home and go to sleep. We might sneak out to a parade somewhere though.

My page is Red, white, and blued with a twist :-). I've got patriotic spirit and state spirit too.

Well, for the next few days including the fourth I will be working at a Fireworks stand that our church is running as a fundraiser. It's a lot of fun and these next few days will be really busy. We all bring goodies and lots of good food and just have a good time. There's lots of laughs and great fellowship with our friends as well as lots of long hours and hard work.

As a family we usually grill out and watch the fireworks that is just down the road from our house but not sure if we will get to do that this year. Hubby and I might get to watch the fireworks if they have enough help and kick us out. LOL. But we will probably have to wait and grill out on Monday after it is all over and have our own little family celebration.

Thanks for the contest. :-)

I don't have many plans for the 4th. Prob. cook out, play in the pool and go see the fireworks with the kids.

Fun! Love yours Heidi!

For the 4th, I'm not sure what we're doing. The city fireworks are postponed because of all the rain we've been having until tomorrow, if they get them off tomorrow I'll be surprised. There was a family cookout at my SO's uncle's but it got canceled cuz his yard is completely under water. But we're leaving on the 5th to go camping at the beach for a couple days so I'll be busy packing anyway!

Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!
