Any plans tonight? What do you and your families usually do to celebrate it?
I'm on my own to celebrate Independence Day today. My roommate is off with his family, and the rest of my family is on vacation out of the country.
I have chicken marinating in the fridge for dinner tonight and I have to go get some groceries, but I really don't have any plans for the day. If I was at home, I would go to the local airport (it's a tiny little thing) to watch an airshow followed by fireworks.
Sounds decent enough. I wish we celebrated St. George's Day more here (basically a day off school). The biggest celebration is St. Patrick's Day, I guess, so I like my name
Happy 4th of July!

I (and my family) went to visit my Dad, about a hour away, and we went out to an Indian restaurant for dinner. Most of us in my family will have Indian food at the drop of a hat. We were going to go out to see some fireworks, but we were enjoying sitting around yakking so we did that instead.
A typical sort of celebration here in the U.S. would be to attend a parade in the morning, have a barbecue meal in the afternoon, then go out to watch some fireworks in the evening.
friends came over... bbq for lunch, bbq for dinner. set off small fireworks in the street, watched big fireworks from the porch roof. it was a really nice day.
anybody lose any fingers from the rockets?
I usually either go downtown and watch the Indianapolis fireworks (the city I'm in for any of you that don't know) or party with some friends, but this year, I actually stayed in and chilled out.
I can't believe this post wasn't revived this Independence Day. So, how was it for all of you?
Loud for a whole week before the friggin' holiday. But not so much on the day, since my stupid neighbors ran out of fireworks before it could happen. Mwahahahaha
I actually introduced my daughter to fireworks, which happened to be some sparklers. FYI, don't try to light fireworks with a plastic cigarette lighter. I never would have thought I would burn my hand lighting sparklers.
