Happy 4th of July, Amanda! Hope you had a good one.
I ate lots of food, played a little hillbilly golf and then watched some amazing fireworks!!!
Spending time with family!
We went to a movie, to stay out of the 100+ heat!
We always spend the day in Chicago, enjoy the concert in Millenium Park, and have a picnic dinner of fruit, cheese, and wine until the fireworks start! Always a great time!
I spent the 4th of July with my husband and my son.
I sure didn’t celebrate it in the typical way this year. Spent the day putting together office furniture recently purchased. Not very exciting but I’m sure glad I got this job done! Next year I’ll be celebrating with a barbeque I’m sure.
My baby boy was sick so we stayed home and relaxed as a family.
I carpooled down with my friend in his electric car to a Fourth of July beach bbq. It took us almost tw0 and half hours (usually takes about an hour) to get down to the party because we were trying to conserve energy. It was a day full of delicious food, great friends, and a”gas” free trip!
What a GREAT giveaway! :)
We celebrated July 4th with family & friends. We had a BBQ and spent a lot of time outside enjoying the warm & sunny Florida weather. We ended the evening with a fireworks! All in all, it was a great day! :)
On a hillside watching fireworks with family. Good Times.
BBQ’d, watched fireworks, and dreamed about owning a Silhouette craft cutter!
We spent the day on a pontoon at the lake. I am still recovering from my sunburn. :)
We spent the 4th celebrating with my husbands family. We swam, ate, and chatted all day. It was perfect.
We celebrated with dear friends, then watched fireworks from the balcony of our home. By the way, I just found your website today (though Pinterest) and LOVE it! :)
Set up the pool for the kiddos and just tried to stay as cool as possible with this lovely heat wave!
My husband and I spend most of the day inside because of the very high heat! We watched the fireworks on tv:)
Our family celebrated the 4th with quiche for breakfast, strawberry no-bake ice box dessert for lunch, a dip in the pool for dinner, and watched fireworks on TV!
We celebrated by having our friends and family over for a cook out and then going to watch the fireworks! We had a great time!
I spent the day in the ER with my grandmother! :(
I need, need, NEED this silhouette for college!!!!!!!!!!!
Our July 4th, thankfully, was quiet. We had enough fire the week before. There were fire bans, so no grilling or fireworks for us.
I would love to win the Cameo — it looks like a wonderful, versatile machine!
Thanks for the great blog and the opportunities to win fun stuff.
I celebrated with my family and then went camping in the Michigan UP!
Celebrated my oldest granddaughters Birthday and ate way too much!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
SO crazy!!! I first heard about the silhouette machine from you and was just on their website thinking about purchasing one. I came on to your site to find your post about it and BAM! He was this post!! lol
We spent our 4th of July on the beach in Daytona!! It was my first time there and I got to go with NO KIDS for the first time ever!!! It was a great way to recharge my “mom batteries”!!!
What a wonderful prize!! I could only be so lucky! The fourth was spent with good food and family out by the pool. Thanks for the opportunity!
What a fantastic giveaway!
In Indiana, there was a burn ban so the family and I couldn’t light any fireworks. That didn’t stop us from having a great day, though. We relaxed & swam in the pool and had BBQ chicken + cake because we were always celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday a couple days early!
I did a lot of nothing, but it felt great after a whirlwind, two-week-long vacation where I did a lot of everything.
I was so hot here on the 4th that we ended up watching fireworks on TV. Luckily we had seen two shows already earlier in the week. But at least we stayed cool. :)
I picked up my son from his summer job and we went over to one of my friends house. Ate, ate and ate and then watched fireworks.
FIREWORKS, FOOD AND FUN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!
I spent it in Savannah, GA enjoying fireworks!
Love your site and your photography!
My husband and two boys went to my in laws house and ate fried ribs, grilled ribs, potato salad, cole slaw, bakes beans and french bread. Then we let the boys shoot off some fire works. Here is my blog post: http://thecheramies.blogspot.com/2012/07/independence-day.html
Good Luck everyone!!
Celebrated with a BBQ, Smores and a Firework show. Loved it..
My daughter and I spent the 4th of July with my parents enjoying a picnic at a beautiful mineral hot springs here in Oregon. The area is right on the McKenzie River and is absolutely beautiful. There are walking trails that lead to several gorgeous (and manicured) gardens, including our favorite, The Secret Garden. We had a great 4th, and hope you did, too!
Our little town has the biggest 4th of July celebration (huge parade, 4 day carnival with live music every night, softball tournaments and fireworks) in Minnesota so we stayed right here! It’s something I did growing up and am continuing the tradition with my own family.
Thanks Amanda!
On the 4th we went down to our local sports park and watched the most beautiful fireworks! Our friends came with us and we had a bbq after :) It was so fun!! Cant wait for next year!
Oooh, the fourth! Given that I live in England, we drowned our sorrows at losing the US as a colony by having a drink at the local pub. I hope that counts ;)
I forgot to add – I *do* have a US mailing address – just in case I win ;)
went to the town parade with the grandsons and then spent the day in the backyard with a wading pool, bbq, and family!!
I had a very quiet but perfect 4th. I stayed at home with my husband, and we grilled and watched fireworks. It was wonderful.
Celebrating is all relative. July 4th our power had just come back on after 6 days. A huge, fast moving storm left almost out entire state without power. No power (phones, cable or internet) for 6 days in temperatures of 100+ is some CRAZY stuff. We took hot showers, gathered a few friends that still did not have power…ordered pizza and stayed inside enjoying the air conditioning! It’s now been 13 days and there are still many without power. It makes me very thankful for the blessings that I have.
We spent the fourth golfing as a family of four, the kids beat the parents! Then we have a fun supper out and watched the fireworks on the Iowa River!
Our fourth was the best. Huge Parade with fighter jets flying over(our favorite).
Float down the river with cousins. HUGE BBQ with over 100 people, waterslides, bounce houses, pinyata, candy cannon, and a ton of great fireworks! Best Holiday Ever.
With family, we had a lovely BBQ and the best stuffed mushrooms!
I had a beautiful day just me and my hubby ! What could be better :)
Spent the early part of the day by the pool then spent the evening at the Atlanta Braves game followed by patriotic music and fireworks! Perfect day!!
Celebrated the 4th with family at Chautauqua Lake, NY. Food, Firework shows and flares to make the ring of fire around the lake. Awesome day.
