Independence day what will you be doing?

I hope that your neighbors don't drive you and your dog to crazy. Maybe you will get lucky this year and they will not shoot them off and if they do maybe they won't last to long. I hope you enjoy your Independence day.

Thanks :) I am okay with it all, I have lived in this house for fifteen years or so and even though the neighbors have changed the fireworks routines have not LOL I just let the dog come in the house and let him stay close to me and he is okay. He's a large dog but he's also a big chicken LOL

Mine would bark at a robber then run away. After they were in the house he would probably come inside, bark at them again and then run right back outside LOL It's always them little dogs that are the vicious ones LOL

It sounds like you all have a great time during the fourth. I would love to be by the beach and see an air show on the fourth of July. I bet that is totally awesome. We just got back not to long ago from Pensacola beach and at Navarre they had a fireworks show we got to see it was so awesome. The Blue angels were out of town at that time so I did not get to see them. It sounds so cool getting to see your neighbors fireworks, your fireworks, and the air forces show during the fourth. There is nothing better than a great BBQ to go with it all. We all ohhh and awwwe over the colorful ones. My youngest ran off terrified at the Navarre ones this last time. The loud bangs scared him. I bet the tank thing was freaky. I Hope you and your family have a wonderful Independence day.

Thanks a lot travi. Yes, the tank thing was really freaky, we have not bought any more of them, lol. I talked to my son today and asked him to get us some shrimp and fish freah from a boat and bring it up with him. He said he could do that. That will be great having seafood this year. I hope you all have a wonderful Independence Day.

Oh man I love fresh fish. Shrimp on the barbie omg It is my favorite. Are you going to grill shrimp and fish? That is making my mouth water all ready. Man I know what I need to be doing at least for lunch that day lol. You may have talked into the cookout part of the fourth. I haven't done that in a long time on that day. My mouth is still watering.

Oh I am sorry you will have to work. BBQ, family, and fireworks are a great way to spend the fourth. It seems to be the main activity so far from what I have seen by my post. I hope that your work that weekend is easy and that your boss shows you some appreciation for working on that weekend.

It sounds like you are going to have a great time spending it with family. You are right the traffic does take some of the fun out of going to the bigger shows in town. It is vvery cool that you will be able to see some of them from your house. I hope you have an awesome fourth of July as well, thank you.

Thanks. It will be a long drive for us, but I hope it will be fun. I hope you get to visit the place you want for July 4th and have a safe and happy one too.

That is fun having family over and a BBQ. I bet you will have a great time at your sisters new house. You also be safe and I hope that you have a wonderful time over the holiday weekend of the fourth. Still looking for the info I did find out who will be in concert but have not found the activities yet. may have to sart watching the local news for the info.

Well happy early birthday to you. What a grand day to have a birthday on. It sounds like you will have fun for sure on that day. Thank you for sharing the information on the Filipino-American friendship day. I did not know this. What do you do there for your Independence day on June 12th?

wow that is really cool that you and your mom have birthdays on your countries events. your Independence day sounds very awesome as well. Thank you for sharing because I love learning about new things. I hope you got to enjoy all the festivities at your Independence day celebration.

Thanks! We also had a celebration in our house last June 12. It's the birthday of my mom. But our country also celebrates June 12 with fireworks and a show somewhat like a drama recreating how the Philippines had its independence during the war. The event is televised nationwide and all government officials are there in the audience. All houses and establishments would hang the Philippine flag usually for the whole month of June to celebrate the Independence Day.

That sounds like a great Fourth of July day. Spending time with your S/O grilling and a day at the river. I wish our festivities would be on the day after. My family always wants to have a get together and shoot off fireworks and then my in laws do as well but everyone wants to do it on the fourth and I want to go to the big festivities in town on that night. I can't be every where at once and they all want to pressure me into coming to theirs. I bet your S/O is busy for sure on the night of the festival. I would think that being in law enforcement you would really have to love your job in order to do it. You are lucky in being able to see the fireworks from your yard. We live out of town and are surrounded by hills and hollows with trees. I can hear lots of them going off around us but I can not see them. It drives me crazy lol. I go out and look but can only hear the loud booms. I hope that you have a wonderful time both on the fourth and fith.

Having cookouts with the family is always fun. I guess I didn't realize that you could watch fireworks on tv. I will have to see if I can find them and record them for later. Thanks for sharing and have a great fourth with your family.

Wow fireworks on a monday is really odd. Will you go watch them? Are you going to have your own during your cook out? Cook outs are always fun and even more so for the Fourth of July. I hope that you and your son have a great Independence day.

A family BBQ is always fun and shooting off your own fireworks is also a great fun thing to do. We might have to try to shoot some of our own off. The kids always seem to enjoy that more than anything else. Earth sheltered home sounds really cool. It sounds neat for someone to say they shot fireworks off their grass covered roof. My daughter loves bottle rockets as well but they sure do make a mess. You are right though it is a lot of fun. It sounds like you all will have a great holiday. I hope you have a wonderful time this Fourth of July.

I am sorry I meant the celebration of America's Independence on July fourth. I didn't mean the end of the world or anything like that.

Oh I am sorry to hear that the fireworks will be cut down this year. I hate that people get sue happy. Some people will sue over the most stupid reasons out of greed and laziness. It is true many people do take the fourth of July for granted these days just like some think Memorial day is a three day weekend to drink and party. I hope that you enjoy your festivities on the fourth and have a wonderful Independence day.
