What do you have planned for the 4th of July?

We are planning to go to a huge fireworks display over the Intercoastal Waterway. We will probably have a cookout with Jeff's family and I'll make my killer potato salad and bacon wrapped corn on the cob.

I have no idea. I know that I won't be doing much because we are still being tight with money since we have such a big move coming up in August.

We'll probably just go to Grant Park and watch the Fireworks. I hate to do that because that is the last day of the Taste of Chicago Festival and it is always the busiest. But that's probably what we'll end up doing.

Not a clue yet..some fireworks somewhere..prob by the beach.

It is my son Zachery Josephs birthday on the 1st and my eldest son Lorenzo turns 12 on July 4th so we are having a double celebration dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.

We'll take our sailboat and moor it in Hingham Harbor for a cookout off the bow (and maybe a sunset swim depending on the mosquitos and the water temp) and watch the town fireworks.

Then we'll spend the night at the mooring and sail back home the next morning. :) There is nothing better than sitting in the cockpit sipping coffee at sunrise. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!

I am majorly psyched!

I am guessing I'll also make my rowing slave (DH) row our dinghy in to shore for Fried Dough. I may be on a diet but I'll eat birdseed all day if I can have Fried Dough.

I'm so coming to spend the holiday with cyndilouwhoo.

We are going to my in-laws which is an hour away. My husband's brother (who lives in Cleveland OH) is coming into town w/his family. Pretty low-key stuff.

ditto on spending the 4th w/cyndilouwhoo!!!!

The more the merrier!

We're invited to go over to a friends house to pop some firecrackers. Since they don't have any restrictions out where she lives and we do, so we'll probably head her ways.

I know how to sail, I used to be on a sailing team! I'll bring some candy necklaces for everyone to snack on and look fab in. 8)

For the fourth, we're going to waddle on over to the fireworks display that's like, two blocks away over the lake. We'll probably get eaten up my mosquitos and stepped on by little wild children. After which, we're going to go home, put the little one to bed and probably do things that adults with kids do when they're alone. We'll probably eat some ice cream and go to bed! :P

We are going up to the park to watch the fireworks display. I just found out last night that my in-laws are flying in as well. They just can't stand being away from the grandkids and are having major withdrawls. They haven't seen them since April and I sent Grandma a short video of her grandson oohing and ahhing and so I think that is what finally did her in. Next thing I know, they've booked a flight.

Nothing here. Hubby is working all week and Saturday so we won't do much, if anything. Maybe some fireworks but that will be about it and only if he buys them which he hasn't so far.
