we live in a military town so the fourth is huge here. We usually do a grill out with family and the head to thepark where they have an old fashioned fourth of july day comlete with old time prices and foodand games. We watch fireworks while they play patriotic music over the loudspeakers. We come home to a bonfire and then my husband and oldest son shoot off their fireworks display. So much fun!!

My in-laws live out in the country, so we go there for a huge cookout and fireworks show.  There is usually about 20 or so of us there. It is a lot of fun!

We go to Florida. We live in NJ and we slave away barbecuing and waste so much $$$. So we go to enjoy our independence as a family away........
