What is it that you are doing on the fourth? I am going to have a party with friends and family, then go out on the lake.

All my family is coming over, we're going to swim and barbecue and such, then the ones who live far away are staying over. I wish we were having fireworks but our town cancelled them this year :(

My uncle is throwing a big party, like he does every year, and our whole extended family will be there. It's good fun except that Im the only teenager there, so I have to hang out with old people and little kids:)

camping!

Watching TV. :p

My parents got some fireworks and were going to shot them off the house boat. It is going to be so cool, unless we get caught.

i'm goin to philippines the next day after 4th of July lol making it the 5th =P I can't wait... i guess we're gonna do the same thing we do every year... go watch fireworks...

I'm Canadian, but I put having a party because I'm going to a baby shower. Otherwise, I'd just be on LEIA like any other regular day.

I'm going to be sat around getting jealous because Americans get an excuse to party that day and i don't :P

I'll be doing to same thing I do every day, not much at all :P I didn't even do anything today, was invited to go to the beach with friends but I thought I'd avoid the subject of me going out for the next few days :P

camping!
mee too!

I'm going to my Grammy and Pappap's house at the beach... and there I'll be riding in a small parade in their neighborhood with my unicycle :)

By the way, does anyone know why it's not letting me vote on this poll?

Well since I am Australian July 4th means nothing to me..
singingshanti - No Idea. But I also have the same problem - You may not vote on this poll.

Maybe the poll's closed...

I cant vote on the poll either, but im going to a cookout.

Nothing really. My dad will undoubtably make hot dogs, hamburgers and stake(great, now I'm hungry...eh...I'm always hungry) on the grill, and then later on in the evening, we'll go and see my towns fireworks. Otherwise, I'll probably just sit around on me laptop all day.

Oh well. :)

I'm going to be sat around getting jealous because Americans get an excuse to party that day and i don't :P

who says you can't party? :P if anyone asks you why you are, just tell them you're celebrating the 4th of July. do you need a real reason other than that? :P

I don't think I'm doing anything- my town doesn't even have fireworks. they have them for the town weekend thing in September, but not July 4th. my town is so backwards lol

We are going to my grandma's on the 3rd for a family reunion kind of thing. On the 4th we may just stay home and light fireworks. :P

I don't know yet, it depends. I'll probably go somewhere to see the fireworks or go to the park and do sparklers. :)

My lucky family gets to have several 4th of July functions, on various days. Woo for us. Utter joy.

Yeah, I live where there are usually big parties downtown for any holiday thinkable, and even more.. lol 'Let's celebrate PIE!' XD :p Anyway, haha, I might go downtown and watch the fireworks and participate in the festivities.. :)

erm... the same as on July 3rd - studying for my exam...

I tried that one thanksgiving...couldnt get anyone else excited about it....only managed to make everyone think i was an alcoholic coming up with a stupid excuse to get drunk on my own :lol:

I don't know. I'm probably going to sleep until 11:00 or so, like I do every sunday, eat whatever my dad grills, and ignore all the patriotic stuff.

going to my grandpa's tomorrow just for a boring family thing. Sunday im going with one of my friends and his family to his step-moms sisters house. They live in a subdivision and they have a house by a big lake-ish sort of thing. Its inside the subdivision but its really big so i dunno what you wanna call it. Anyways, about 5 or 6 houses every year put a few hundred bucks into it and then they go down to ohio and buy some sweet (real) fireworks. Technically they are illegal in michigan, since they buy the airborne kind, which are illegal here unless its like a city-wide event. Lol, but they live on that lake-ish thing so thats why they buy the big guns. I bought some cheapo $20 package with about 15-20 things in it, i wanted to buy the $30 one because it was really big, btu didnt want to spend another $10, so my friend is gonna pick another $20 package up so we have more, plus i paid for them last year too, i know its nice of them to invite me in the first place, but, this way we will have more for the night :) Ive went the last 3 years. We are usually there until like midnight-1 am, and they live an hour away, because the adults do what adults do at partys so we oculdnt leave for a while lol, so we do some little firework stuffz at that time :)...yeh, done rambling now :)

Well, i've got nothing planned for july 4th, the weather channel says its raining so in other words its going to be really hot...if the weathers all right i'll probably go out and play basketball or something,...but on july 1st i did have a barbeque...

Watching fireworks! :D I really don't know what I'm going to do other than that; my family is very spontaneous. :P

Happy 4th of July for those of you that celebrate it!

I'm going to my Grandma's house in NYC with my mum. We're going to be there until Tuesday, because my Grandpa died recently and we're going to the viewing and funeral.

I'll be working :P

I'm going to Ft.Hood to go watch the fireworks show :D
