4th of July is a favorite holiday of mine because we always had so much fun when I was a kid. Has anyone seen a fireworks display by the Grucci's? I was spoiled by seeing them in CT and now everything else I see is....just not as spectacular. We did the same thing every year when I was a kid: We would go to KFC and get chicken, then we would stake out a spot at a park and watch the fireworks that they shot off from a barge on the Thames River in between Groton and New London. Many fond memories. When I lived in GA- the town did the fireworks display in a meadow above the store where I worked. We employees would rope off a section of the store's parking lot and reserve if for the friends and families of the employees. Last year's fireworks were cancelled because of the severe drought. And now that I live in a new state, I dunno what town does what. Plus I have to work until 8pm.
1. My family and I are supposed to be going to ohio but who knows we might just stay here and have a family cookout like every year, traffic is insane and gas is to much to be drivin that far for 1 day.
2. If i find some people to go with i will go.
4. Didn't see it but i shoulda clicked sparklers.
The 3rd is my dad's birthday so we turn the 3rd and the 4th into a two day bash. We'll BBQ both days with family and friends with the one on the 3rd being at the house and the one on the 4th at the lake. When it gets to dusk on the 4th, we'll pack up the party and drive to one of the towns around the area that has a fireworks display.
Our family rents a picnic spot at a park with a baseball diamond and a huge field. It's kind of like an old fashioned picnic with games, prizes and a TON of food. There's a family softball game, and for those who don't get into softball....there's always soccer. The entire family shows....usually about 50 people. Gotta love the Hoffia! (family nickname)
the kids are suppose to be back in town. if they are, we are going to a friends house who is on a country club golf course, to see the country clubs fireworks. i currently have no idea what the weather is suppose to be.
i might consciously make a decision to wear something subtle that is red, white, and/or blue.
