The Fourth of July is a big holiday in my family...second only to Christmas so I'm very much looking forward to it!!
First, the entire family (me, my Dh, my step-daughter, my sis, her Dh and their kids, my other two sisters and my mother) will all gather together, fill coolers with soda, water and snacks and head out to a nearby town. Once there we will check out the huge flea market where I will buy books and DH will buy fireworks and what we call 'fair food' (anything on a stick!).
Once we've had our fill of the flea market it will be time to head over and get ourselves a good spot for the huge parade. We'll bring out the coolers and share sodas and snacks while we wait. The parade itself will last about an hour and a half to two hours (I said it was HUGE).
After the parade we will head back home for a big family cookout. Lots of food, fun and laughter to be had. Then, when we've all eaten our fill and the sun is getting low in the sky we will all head back to the nearby town once again where they have a pre-fireworks show with a DJ, dancing, etc. then, at dusk the fireworks will put a fantastic cap on a great day!!
