Yes, that's my city for ya. I guess they figure more people will show up if the parade is on Saturday and not on Sunday.

None! Mike has to work form 8-5. My parents might have some plans and I might tag along and Mike can catch up later. I think we can see fireworks from our apt, so we may just go out on the porch and observe those

Probably going to church. Oh and taking my sister to camp...but I just might stay home with Major.

HOWEVER on July 1st, CANADA Day, I might dress Major up a little and take some pictures...might go see some fireworks. Not to much to do in a small town, but I still have fun! Sometimes they have a parade...I hope they do this year. I should know by now, but I'm usually the last to find out anything

Lynne, it seems like we're celebrating the 4th on the 5th over here. Almost everyone I know has the 5th off and my school is closed that day as well. Wierd, huh??

We're going to have a BBQ with a few friends. It should be fun...we can see a huge firework show from our balcony.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

We're headed for the Northwoods! Northern Wisconsin and the Nicolet National Forest to be exact.

My brother owns some land up there across the street and down the road from a nice lake. It's so nice and peaceful up there....except for all the people on the lake that insist on putting on a fireworks show for the rest of us who would rather listen to the whipperwill.

It seems like forever since we've been in the motorhome, so it'll be a fun getaway for us - can't wait!

Same thing I have done for the last several years...sitting with my kitties, trying to calm them down from all the fireworks.

[Lillycat]

me too......the fireworks have already started ......cats jumping off the chaise lounges on the front porch and hurrying in the house....the fireworks are so close and so loud......the cats hate them!!! three more nights of this!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh!!!!!!

[teenster3]

I agree......my dogs go absolutely nuts, they won't STOP barking!!!!! You gotta feel sorry for them, it probably hurts their ears terribly!!!
This is Wicket's 4th year going through the sounds of fireworks. But for Waffles, this is just her 1st year. So, I wanted to see how she reacts & I guess she doesn't care much for it either! Poor babies!!!!!! I just let them outside to go potty & low & behold.....BOOM- another firework went off.....you should have seen them book for the patio doors!

We're having a family get together/BBQ at my grandmother's house. There won't be very many people, though. Two of my cousins and one of my uncles and aunts are on a cruise to Alaska, and some other family members won't be there.

I hope we can bring Molly and Daisy.. I'd hate to leave them home alone with our idiot neighbors blowing off fireworks.

[Kfamr]

I guess Lauren and I are going to her parents for fireworks and a BBQ.

When my sister gets off work her and I are going to do something together.

The mutts will probably stay here, but If i'm gone for too long i'm going to have Lauren drive me back to my house to check on them.

We are going to a big family picnic at Tar Hollow State Park. We have the big shelter house reserved. The girls are coming with us so of course I am thrilled and can't wait.

It is very hot and muggy here though. Just awful. Looks like showers and thunderstorms also. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather somehow gets better by the time we go. Also we might take the girls down to the park for the fireworks, so far they don't seem bothered by the few that have went off around here so we are curious to see how they do.

Happy Fourth Everyone.....Robin

[lynnestankard]

I understand what your all saying re: the fireworks!! We have this 'event' here called Bonfire Night - 5th November. Trouble is - people start letting off fireworks anytime from September!!
The three mouseketeers HATE it!

We also have some American folk living local - they start their fireworks around 11pm!!! That really is soooo annoying. Why can't they have them earlier? Goodness knows.

Sorry this sounds a bit like a rant - it's not!

All of you have a really happy 4th July.

Lynne

[Uabassoon]

I don't have anything too exciting planned, I think my friends and I are going to get together for a little BBQ.

[dukedogsmom]

I'm STILL at work Will be until about 645. Blah. Hope everyone else is enjoying their day off. Sometimes I wonder what a normal job would be like........

[Kfamr]

I wish you could come over this way, Val. You could probably come to Lauren's with us, we're having bbq and fireworks.
