We will grill out.  But an easy day at home.  I'll watch a Capitol Fourth, and maybe the Boston pops shows.  We won't be going to city fireworks.  The crowds, the heat, etc, but after Tuesday we are supposed to have a stretch of sunny, cooler days.  Mid 80's.  Beats the 95 the past week with storms.  

Home is our happy place.  Enjoy the holiday.

@PartDeux Sounds delicious! 

My family will be coming over on Sunday rather than the fourth  and I like the idea of tacos....the wine slushies sound wonderful!

not a fan. My dog practically goes into convulsions and it's very upsetting to watch.

Got the idea from Buckingham Vineyards.  I'm going to make them in my Margaritaville Margarita maker.  Fingers crossed!

When we were younger we enjoyed doing something on the 4th,,having friends over or going somewhere.  I still like to go but all our friends are aging as well and while we enjoy seeing each other...all the prep work that goes along with getting together is an easy pass for most of us.  I don't want to be a stick in the mud but I'd rather stay home.

Never liked this Mermaid style  , also very dated.

No plans. I hate this holiday; the firecrackers scare my cats! Also, people drive drunk on this holiday WAY too much....well, once is actually WAY too may times.

@haddon9  As much as we'd like to recreate that era, it's not going to happen. Such a special time! Our children still stay in touch with the neighborhood kids, and some of them are my DD's best friends and were in eachother's weddings. The new families are very friendly, but they don't seem to have the same neighborhood picnic mentality. I sometimes wonder if we should initiate one, but it's a lot of work. It seemed a lot easier back in the day.

I doubt we will be doing much unless the BF decides to take his DIL/grandkids out on the boat on Sunday (son will be working).  They have fun and it's better than when the entire family comes to our house as all the son/my BF do is watch TV rather than interact w/the kids. 

I don't go as it's very difficult for me to get in/out of the boat and I really enjoy the  alone time at home!

@PartDeux My brother moved to Buckingham Springs which is ten minutes from me!  It's right across the street from Buckingham Vineyards.   He loves it there and he's very active in the community.  

Hope your slushies come out great!

I will ask my brother to stop by and pick up some strawberry wine for Sunday!!
