So, what are your plans for the 4th of July...

I'm going with my hubby & friends to Rhythm & Booms on Sat. It's a huge fireworks display/baseball/music/beer tents at a park in Madison. There are tons & tons of people that go to this. Just trying to get out of the parking lot usually takes a couple of hours at least!!!!
On Sunday, the 4th, my hubby & I go to Janesville to see the fireworks with my parents. Also that day, my friend is letting balloons (with letters inside) go in honor of her grandpa (his birthday is the 4th) that passed away 2 years ago! I hope to watch her do that. She said it was interesting last year: a woman wrote her a letter saying: that she found a letter in the balloon & how touched she felt to find it! Pretty great idea if you ask me!
So.....what are your plans?

Probably nothing. My parents are planning on going to MI possibly. I really don't know.

Watching the Mens Final at Wimbledon!!!! Only on the tv I hasten to add! :D :D

Another holiday of working for me :(

i might be working that weekend, however, if not, i'll listen to the NPR staff reread the Declaration of Independance, usually at the top of the even hour and we'll go to the doodah parade here in columbus. the doodah parade is the satirical non planned parade with commentary on local, statewide and national events with the precision lawn chair team marching, as usual, to express the need to just sit and relax some days. and then home to give thanks for the great gift of being an american woman in this time.

Hey, don't feel alone Val...I have to work too.

But afterwards me, Roxey, Huney, a friend of mine and her 3 huskies are going to the doggie park!

Then we'll probably go watch the fireworks.

I'm working from 3 to 9 p.m. I'm HOPING that the store will be quiet and they'll let some of us go home early. So everybody, STAY THE HELL OUTTA BED, BATH AND BEYOND ON JULY 4TH WILL YA???? (J/K)

Working 6am - 12 noon on Thursday then going home, hooking up the camper and hubby and I are off to a weekend of camping.

It will be kind of like a family camping weekeddn to include Mark, Me, Mark's mom and dad, Mark's sister and her husband, Mark's brother and his wife, Mark's sister's husbands parents and my mom coming up to visit 2 or 3 of the days that we are all there. I hope everyone gets along :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek:

Last year while we were camping a house on the pond put on a heck of a fireworks show and we are hoping they do so again as we are all on the water again this year.

Brian, my mom and stepfather and I are going into PA to see my niece and take her to Dorney Park:)

We are planning on going to Battle Lake, MN to go fishing, tubbing, swimming, ect... we used to live in Battle Lake so we will go visit some of our old neighbors and stuff like that. I hope my parents will give in and let Maggie come along, my cousins and my aunt and uncle will probably meet us there too. :D

If anyone is going to be in the State College area...besides the most absolute wonderful fireworks display in PA....:D :D there is going to be another event dealing with the plight of dogs.

Go to www.dogsdeservebetter.com There you will see a poster and read about the Chain Off event that is occuring there. I know we needs lots of support for this.

On the 3rd of July, Kia and I will be participating in Lansings 4th of July parade. :D

Both Andy and I have the 5th off. Not sure what we'll do. Maybe go to Chicago?

Nothing special is planned. I won't go anyplace to see fireworks: I have been able to see them from my window.

We are having a family cookout here on Saturday. My sister and her family with spouces and girlfriends are coming and I'll be bringing Dad up. My husband is also inviting his parents and his sister and her family so we have the potential for a big party.

I just dawned on me I'll need to get more tables and chairs. Oops.
