As of right now, I'm not doing anything for the Fourth, and I can't afford fireworks

Hmm...my weekend..

July 4th- either going to Kings Island w/the family or going with my girlfriend to the riverfront to watch the fireworks and all.

July 5th- going to boyfriend's house to watch young adult males almost kill themselves w/fireworks.

July 6th- My 20th birthday! ...which will include even more fireworks of a different kind completed w/the red, white, & blue decorations..

No specific plans yet, but it's our first year at a brand new golf course community -- lots of veterans of various ages.

The kids may all come over to swim and BBQ.

Corny as it may sound, I always read the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July - aloud. Maybe it's becaue I'm into history & genealogy, but I get chills from hearing the words that began the Revolution!

Oh, then Mr. honeychile & I are going to 2 soccer games in Columbus with friends - the Columbus Crew v. the hated Dallas Burn, and US v. Paraguay. Look for me on tv - I'll be the one wearing red!

I'm going to my brother-in-law's to be ignored. Could have gone to a friend's house to watch the fireworks, but nooo...

I'm really starting to miss the almost-family-cookouts from when my brother was able to make it in for the holiday.

But, Thursday is my son's birthday, so we're having a party for him which should be fun.

Traditionally my family and I spend the day in Boston for the concert and the fireworks. We get there at around 4 am for the best seats and hang out all day. This year though we might fly out to Montana to visit some family.

GeekyPenguin · #10 07-01-2003, 12:58 PM

Going to our summer house to visit with my grandpa - usually more relatives come, but I guess not this year. My grandpa hasn't recovered enough to walk in the parade with the Legion and Lions, so I am going to try and convince him to let me push him in a wheelchair - I know he really enjoys being in the parade.

My family usually goes to the big fireworks show in town, which is on the 3rd this year (I'm also going to King's Island again that day). Then on the 4th, I will probably be hanging out by the pool in the daytime and then going to a horse show that night, unless there's a party.

texas*princess · #13 07-02-2003, 10:59 AM

for the 4th, I'm going with texas*boy to one of his co-worker's house for a BBQ.. I'm going to be the youngest one there!!

"Excuse me, where is the kiddie table?"

KillarneyRose · #14 07-03-2003, 08:23 PM

I'm loading up the kiddies and heading off to a barbeque at the home of one of my sisters, then fireworks afterward. Should be fun; I'm looking forward to it!

My boyfriend and I are going on a cruise to see the Macy's fireworks show tonight.

Tomorrow my mother, sister, and I are going to meet our very distant cousins. They never call my mother unless they want or need something. The only time that I ever saw one of them, we went out to dinner three years ago. We met at a restaurant where he announced that he had 'lost' his wallet.

This should be interesting.

My relatives have a family reunion at the end of July annually. I am looking forward to this reunion since some relatives from England will attend. I haven't seen them since 1999. Usually over 60 relatives attend. We are a big Irish Catholic family.
