What's eveybody's special plans for the 4th? Has the economy had an impact on your usual mid-summer plans?
-
I usually go to a baseball game and eat too many hot dogs. They have fireworks after the game. I try to do that every year. Also, this year I am joining a nationwide movement to read the Declaration of Independance. :)
-
Hey, that sounds fascinating! Nationwide? How do I get info on that?
-
Probably won't do to much means it is in the middle of the week. Do something close to home!
-
We are going up north for the week. Can't wait.
-
Well my plans are simple, a BBQ with family and friends, some beer and lots of fun. Nice!!!
-
Don't really have major plans this year. Going to have a cookout with close friends and then maybe go to see fireworks.
-
NOT MUCH SINCE ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WILL TAKE THE KIDS TO WATCH FIREWORKS AND HAVE A BBQ.
-
We usually go to the lake and see fireworks.
-
Got to work on the 4th but the ribs will be ready when I get home. :peace:
-
I watch fire works from my driveway, nothing much
-
Will stay home. There are so many visitors at the lake , it can get very crowed. They are not hugh lakes and one of them will usually have aroung 10,000 and the other one will have between 30,000 to 50,000 people there. Most are from out of state. Will watch the fireworks from my house.
-
Little one doesn't like the loud noise so will probably stay in the car somewhere and watch fireworks from afar.
-
Well my plans are simple, a BBQ with family and friends, some beer and lots of fun. Nice!!!
That is the plans for our house as well !
-
Well I might go to Canada to visit some family up there.
-
i am having a party for the 4th just friends and family
-
I will have to work, no time for a cookout.
-
Just started a new job, so can't take time off, but hopefully doing SOMETHING!!!

We have an OLD SMOKEY BBQ Grill but I want to get a really big BBQ GRILL this year.
-
I like to do the home fireworks. We did it for the first time just a few years ago and I loved it.
Before that I was afraid of the home fireworks thinking they were too dangerous. But I tried it just
using the smaller and less dangerous ones and it was still lots of fun and pretty.
-
We usually just stay at home for the 4th of July....maybe go see the local fireworks or something like that! Its usually after the 4th when we go camping!
-
I don't know my schedule for next month yet. Most likely will be working. If not working then just home doing nothing but enjoying being off.
-
I usually attend an annual convention at that time of year when many people are out school or on vacation. I decided not to go this year and give myself a break financially.
-
I hope i can get to go to the beach
-
Going to San Antonio Texas Sea World, they have very nice fireworks. Always go there, but sometimes when we have dry weather no rain :'( they don't do the fireworks for security reasons. Hope they do the fireworks show this year.
Financially, we always save a little cash for our summer vacation. Still manage to go out and take my son to have fun.
-
I hope I can shoot off fireworks but I don't think our state will allow it due to all the forest fires! :bunny:
-
We usually go away for the weekend, but with July 4th on a Wednesday this year it kind of ruins those plans! We'll probably just hang around the house, work on the yard and maybe have people over for BBQ. I'm actually liking the idea of a low key mid week break from work!
-
Probably will have family over and have some bbq. We usually get together and celebrate multiple birthdays near the 4th on that day, but since it's midweek we may not all be able to get together.
-
I have to work all day July 4th. I work at Walmart as a people greeter, so when holidays comes along I mostly likely have to work. The way things are today I am just glad to have a job. God has been so good to me and hope everyone has a good weekend and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
-
Not sure yet, kinda depends on what happens with work that week!
-
Hopefully I'm going to the beach
-
Flying out to the Bahamas ;D
-
I used to play fireworks before the 4th, but with the economy and regulations. It's a habit gone now. I miss the old days :crybaby2:
-
i plan on trying to sleep. it gets so loud.lol. but mostly just relaxing.
-
I'll spend some time with my son and his family. I'll probably have to do it on the weekend after the fourth because he'll and his wife will have to work all week.
-
I hope i get to get to spend some well needed family time with my loved ones this 4th , Happy Independence Day Too All Hope You Enjoy!
-
On the 4th of July, i'll be hanging with my family at home and eating some good food and maybe go watch a movie.
-
Might see the fireworks with my family. Happy 4th of July everyone! :wave:
-
I will be spending time with my family as well. Please everyone be safe because unless we get some rain and lots of it, we are living on top of an tinder box. So take care and be safe, :heart:
-
WE are going to a bar-b-que and then watch the fireworks. It's a big day for my boys as it is one of the few days in the year that they will be up past normal bed time.
-
Our daughter, Natalie Stovall, and her band are playing at Ft. Bragg on the Fourth of July, opening for Gloriana. It should be a huge crowd so we are going to go be part of the celebration. My husband is retired military, so we usually stay on the base whenever we go to one of her military shows. We plan to take a few days to enjoy what Ft. Bragg has to offer!
-
spending some well needed time with my family
-
I'll be working on the 4th, so--don't have anything special planned. I don't really mind working the 4th this year because it comes in the middle of the week; I don't really want to take a day off then because then i seems like I get two Mondays, which I don't need.
You mentioned the economy and how it might impact plans for the 4th; as a side-note, gas is now 2.95 a gallon in my burg.
-
I'm going to DC to see the fireworks with family friends
-
I live in hawaii where they have banned all fireworks. This is the first 4th since the ban. I''m wondering what it will be like!

Hopefully have an outing with my best friend this month. Excited about that!

-
Have to work both jobs, it will be the first time I won't be home to keep my dog from getting "spooked"...I'm hoping the fireworks get cancelled because it's so dry. Otherwise I'll be worrying about her. :(
-
Food, Family, and Fun! This is one of the most exciting times of the year for me. Love the red, white, and blue!
-
i have no plans as of yet for the 4th but probably will see fireworks anyway
-
I'm not doing ANYTHING on the 4th. Fireworks are banned in Colorado because of all the fires. It will just be a nice day off from work.
-
No plan so far, probably just stay home and enjoy the day.
