We celebrated by watching our granddaughter in a parade with several family members. It was my father-in-law’s birthday so we enjoyed a cookout with even more family. Then we attended a small rodeo in Plymouth and capped off the night with awesome fireworks in Riverside. It was a Great Day!

1203
Tara July 5, 2012 at 10:38 pm

Hi Kevin & Amanda
I love all of your beautiful pictures. They make me want to travel, but I will need to win the lottery first.
Any way, I spent the 4th with family. Lots of good food and good company.
Hope you have a great weekend!

1204
Suzanne July 5, 2012 at 10:38 pm

My Fourth was nice and quiet–just like I like it! It’s too hot this year to move, much less party!
Thanks for the giveaway chance!

1205
Lauren July 5, 2012 at 10:40 pm

I went out on a boating adventure on the ocean with my in-laws. We grilled hot dogs on the boat and somehow managed to avoid a huge thunder storm. Then I had a cook out with my family and watched fireworks with them. The only way it would have been better is if my husband was with me! (He’s on active duty training in Texas!)

1206
BettyC July 5, 2012 at 10:42 pm

We had family with us. No local fireworks, but we watched the D.C. celebration on TV, then the Macy’s New York fireworks show.

virginia ibarra July 5, 2012 at 10:45 pm

hola!
went to work from 8-5 – picked up some chocolate ice-cream from the store – had dinner with my boyfriend’s family – drove home – had a couple of taquitos that my mom made for dinner – then headed to my craft area where I folded a whole bunch of scrapbook paper, ran it through the die cut machine, and folded all the paper one more time to get a tri-fold looking card (for sending notes at girls camp) and heard the fireworks go off :) grateful to have been born and live in this country!

1208
Pat McDaniel July 5, 2012 at 10:45 pm

Packing, not a great fourth…but we are leaving our Dallas home to move to south Texas to be near our granddaughters. It will be worth it and the fourth next year will great with all of them on the ranch.

1209

1210
Kathy Halverson July 5, 2012 at 10:46 pm

We didn’t do much. We cleaned the house a little, took a long nap, and when the fireworks stated we did our best to help our dogs stay calm.

Krista July 5, 2012 at 10:48 pm

Ha- funny question to answer! It was SO HOT in Wisconsin that there was a burn ban in effect (what?!). My husband and I spent the day at home then drove to his work to try and catch a fireworks display from the parking lot in the air conditioned car. When we got home we made s’mores on the STOVE! :) Happy summer!

1214
Taylor D. July 5, 2012 at 10:48 pm

1217
Julie July 5, 2012 at 11:07 pm

We started the day by watching our community parade, then we spent the afternoon at the pool. We shared a picnic with family and then gathered together in our local park to watch the most patriotic fireworks display. Following the fireworks, we sat on the porch as Mother Nature’s shared her version of a fireworks display and enjoyed a thunder storm. It was a perfect day!!

1218
Amanda July 5, 2012 at 11:10 pm

Teresa Hargrave July 5, 2012 at 11:29 pm

Happy 4th of July! We are the proud parents of two amazing young adults that have blessed us with their loving spouses and 3 beautiful grandchildren. Our family means everything to us and we do have so much to be thankful for on the wonderful day. Our son in law is celebrating his 7th anniversary today as a cancer survivor! He was diagnosed with a stage 3/4 malignant brain tumor. Our grandson, was diagnosed with Char I Malformation (brain stem growing into his spine) at the age of 4. He had surgery for this and is a normal, active, brilliant 6 year old little boy.
I celebrated this beautiful day with my husband of 33 years and our kids. We enjoyed watching them play and swim. We cooked out, and later I went to spend the rest of the day with my mom. My dad passed away eariler this year and my mom requires 24 hr. care and has trouble getting around so I spent the evening with her while the kids went to watch the annual firework show. We live in a beautiful country and I am so grateful for the soldiers and their families who have fought and sacrificed so we can have our freedom.
I love to spend all my free moments scrapbooking creating memory books for my children and grandchildren. I hope that these books will help them recall all the special moments that help create their lives. I have been tossing around getting a Cameo Silhouette because it has such endless creativity possibilites. I have a Cricut but I would love to add the Silhouette to my scrapbook room collection. I hope you and you family had an awesome 4th! By the way….I love your blog! Teresa

1232
Olga July 5, 2012 at 11:32 pm

Hello, we went to a friend’s house for a BBQ and pool party and it was really hot, so the pool was a good place to be. Left early and watched the fireworks on TV. Sort of uneventful compared to years before. Thanks for a great giveaway!

1243
Leslie B. July 6, 2012 at 12:22 am

We live outside of Seattle WA. and decided to do some of the things we’ve never done living here that people come to do while on vacation. So we started the day riding the ducks around the city and thru the waters of lake Union, the had lunch at Ivars, rode the brand new Farris wheel that is down on the pier and spent some time down near the waterfront! It was a fantastic day!

1244
Marilyn C. July 6, 2012 at 12:33 am

My son had a barbeque. The kids went swimming and played with Maggie who loves to jump into the pool. After dinner we watched the fireworks. It was a fun day.

1245
Dawn Simon July 6, 2012 at 12:37 am

Oddly enough, I spent the first part of the day at dialysis with my son. He was getting treated and I was making a bagel run when he got hungry halfway through. Afterwards, we picked up his best friend and went to the Moapa Reservation to purchase fireworks. The boys were able to fire them off there before we got rain. Late dinner and home after that.

1246

Connie Smith July 6, 2012 at 1:13 am

The 4th of July was so different for us compared to our usual festivities. We have had not only record breaking temperatures but many days in the high 90′s with constant excessive heat warnings from all our local tv/radiio stations & weather.com website. Temps from 95-98 with humidity so bad it felt like you couldn’t breathe. The humidity put the heat indexes around 105-115 for the past 4 days and continuing through Friday night. We often see high 80′s low 90′s during the summer but nothing this brutal. What is so funny is we get vacationers from the southern states and so many of them think we never even get into the 80′s-they are just shocked to realize they can’t escape the heat up here either :-) So unfortunately, no outside activities for us this year. Barely wanted to stand outside to grill anything and then who wanted to stand next to a hot grill. So it was very low keyed but that’s ok every once in great while. Hopefully next year it’s back to family and friends getting together to go camping, boating, fishing and swimming. We hope you had a wonderful 4th. Thank you for an opportunity to put my name in the drawing.

1252

Hi!

I spent my 4th of July at home alone… But it wasn’t as depressing as it sounds! I’m getting ready to move, so I spent the day going through a bunch of my stuff and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of so I can give myself a LITTLE less to move! That evening, I went and had dinner with a few friends and then went to the downtown part of my city and watched fireworks by the water! It was a really nice 4th, spent inside and not getting sunburnt. :)

1273
Cindy M July 6, 2012 at 7:07 am

1277
Denise July 6, 2012 at 7:16 am

We went to watch the fireworks on the “Walkway over the Hudson” ( http://www.walkway.org/ ) and then a storm rolled in! Not so good to be on a metal bridge when there’s lightning! Oh well. We wound up watching the Macy’s fireworks in NYC on tv instead. :(

There’s always next year…

1292
Laura July 6, 2012 at 8:30 am

My hubby and I went to IHOP for a good American breakfast. Then we went to downtown Lexington to walk around an enjoy the festivities: live music, food, people, vendors, dancing women!

It was a blast but oh so hot, so we headed home to Wilmore, KY and got together with some friends for a cookout, and strawberry shortcake to go so we could go behind the little free methodist church and watch R.J. Corman’s Firework show ( a big wig in Nicholasville, KY that throws a company 4th of July party for all his staff, and gives a pretty good fireworks show)

It was great!

1293
Donna Lidester July 6, 2012 at 8:32 am

We spent a nice quiet day just hanging out in the house, too hot here in Indiana to do much outside. Later in the dog we took our two BT’s for a ride and stopped at the local ice cream shop. Also, took time to thank God for our country and freedom.
