What is your 4th of July plan?

[kitten645]

While not technically the fourth I'm including my weekend plans. Tomorrow, house cleaning, wash car, relax etc. Friday night, Night Ranger at the county fair! LOVE THEM! Two shows. Working on the fourth but the local fireworks are literally above my house so I'm staying home on the balcony! Making sure the closet is open for the boys to hide and closing the bedroom door with a heavy blankie over the window to block some of the noise for them I LOVE the fourth! Happy bday America! I love you so!

We have no formal plans for the weekend. We're all 3 off work tomorrow. My husband has been working a contract job that ends today. I will probably come to work for a few hours, just to catch up a bit, since I was off all last week and am taking 2 days next week for college orientation with my daughter. We have some major organizing to do in our guest room and home because our niece is moving in with us next week and will probably be with us until next May. Need to turn the guest room into Emily's room! We're excited about having her.
Hopefully we can at least catch a fireworks show downtown on Saturday evening and I have a couple of my Golden Retriever friends coming through town on Sunday afternoon to visit for an hour or so. That means the 3 pups need to be bathed and brushed to put on a good show for them!!

My thoughts as well.. I think I will take in a couple of movies & just chill out with the babies at the house.. Of course do my weekly shopping & house stuff..

Stay home - do some things that need to be done around the house - BBQ - take in the fireworks after dark.

I hate being on the roads during the holidays with all the masses - and around here everyone heads to the beach and the roads are mobbed. As much as I love the beach, I'd rather relax at home and not be part of the mob scene.

Third son Jason asked me to come over and enjoy fireworks with fiance and baby. I think I will have them over for a cook-out during the day and then head to his house which is about a mile from Lake Erie and the fire works, we will just walk there.
Not sure what daugher is doing yet, she will probably go with us as well, she might have to miss dinner due to work.
Oldest son Mike might fly in from NJ for the weekend to spend time with us , depends on his work and his school schedule.
Time to make my famous potato salad and some burgers and dogs, yummo.

I am off on Fridays normally, so, I will celebrate the holiday on Monday. That means I have a 4 day weekend! Yippee! We will try to fit in the following: bike ride, putt-putt, the movie, "UP", make s'mores, hit the water park, go swimming, go to the parade on Saturday, clean the basement, cut the grass, do the laundry, LOL...all those fun and not so fun things.

J hates loud noises, so we probably will not do the fireworks. Plus what 4 year old stays up til 10 pm anyhow? The labor day ones are a little earlier..so, maybe we will do those when they come around.

Tomorrow we are going to the lake with a few friends and our ski boat to do some wakeboarding/tubing! I'm VERY excited! Then on saturday, we will be going to some family friend's to celebrate the holiday and my aunt's birthday! Should be fun!

Nothing much. All the family's kids are grown & living on their own,
so I 'll just probably order take out & watch TV . Timing the pups
trips outside before the fireworks start will be a trick.

I may go up to Big Lake with a 6 pack and sit by the boat launch and wait for the funnay to ensue.

I am working today (the 3rd), as our company opted not to have a holiday since the 4th is on a weekend. You can see how hard I'm working .

My husband and I have a tradition on the Fourth. Neither of us actually likes to WATCH a parade, so we bike up to the parade route where they're all staged, see them all right before the parade starts, take a spin downtown, then head back for a cold one on the deck!

Other than that, the only plan is to NOT work on the interior painting!

Hubby and I have a nice 4-day weekend off (starting today) with no real plans until Sunday. My son gave my husband four tickets to go watch the Phillies play on Sunday so we will be with him and our daughter-in-law hoping to be watching a winning game. I haven't been to a live baseball game in decades! Should be fun.

It was a Father's Day present but I am benefiting too. I should, though, when you think about it. I did all of the work to bring him into this world!

OH,

It's all fun, until someone has to go to the hospital!

Just returned from taking our kayaks out for a spin around the harbor. Too many people and too many big boats! I think we will hold off on that for the weekend.

We will see the local fireworks from the bottom of the hill. Take our chairs and walk on down...We can see three different cities from there.

Wow! How fun! Some people take canoes up the Charles to watch the fireworks in Boston, but it's too hazardous with all the bigger boats - you feel like you're just gonna get squashed!

I will be going to the Newton Fireworks, and then on my way home try to catch glimpses of Boston's, or maybe Waltham's depending on how humid the air is!
