I like going to the beach with my friends to see the fireworks. Thank you for the giveaway! :)
Picnic with the fam is great but for me it would be the anticipation of seeing my kids excited little faces during the fireworks display!

My favorite 4th of July tradition is watching my 4 brothers trying to put up the sunshade tents every year. Every year they forget how to put them up lol
I love going to Lake Havasu but this year we are going to Disneyland. I cant wait.
My favorite 4th of July tradition is fireworks over the lake with family. Not sure if i'm proud of this fact or not but I have a few pyromaniacs in my family and they buy the good ones. LOL It always makes for an interesting night. :)

We usually get together with a bunch of friends, light off some fireworks for the kids and have a nice BBQ.
My favorite July 4th tradition thing is the family gathering that we have July 2th is my birthday so we kinda combined the two it makes for a great I me. Food,pool,fireworks and family..what more could you ask for???
Getting together with family and enjoying a cookout or just eating together and then heading to City Park for the yearly fireworks display. It's a rare thing for me. I work retail and haven't had the 4th off since I started work. This is the first one in 6 years.

My favorite fourth of July tradition is BBQing with the family at home, light up some fireworks afterwards watching all the family kids get together and just be kids. There's nothing better on the holidays than spending time with the family and having those memories to cherish in the future.
Mine's making homemade ice cream. And setting off crazy fireworks if it's safe weather wise :)
Thanks!

My favorite 4th of July tradition is flying home to see my family and watch the fireworks in town.

*sorry I forgot my email address last time ;) *
Cooking out with my family.
We usually head over to the next state (Missouri) to buy tons of fireworkds (it's illegal to sell the big boys in IA), then try to cross state line without getting caught by the cops. Once 4th is here, our whole block would throw a party and everyone try to out-do each other with the best show. We usually have contest to see which house was the most lethal and shined the brightest. Happy 4th of July to you and yours Alex!!!
Every 4th of July we cookout, hang at the pool and then pack a cooler and head to our favorite parking spot off the beaten path to watch the Fireworks display! One of or favorite holidays! Wishing you and your family a happy 4th!

Watching fireworks. This is my first Fourth of July in Houston and we're going downtown for the celebration.
We have a Barbecue then go watch the neighborhood fireworks nice relaxing day love it.
Camping and just relaxing with the family.
We have a cookout for our extrended family's and swim and chat by the pool until it's time to set off fireworks in the pasture. It's quite nice!
My old favorite was going to buy fireworks with my dad. He would buy tons of stuff then have a blast setting it all off. New favorite is hanging out with my family and enjoying our time together.
Getting all the family together and going to the park to watch the fireworks. Very beautiful.

I usually go to the pier on Folly Beach and watch the fireworks show. It's a great way to spend the 4th!

Well, we just moved back to our homestate after 4 long years away, so we are just getting back into out family traditions. We would usually do a family bbq and do fireworks at my mom's and combine it with a birthday party for my son. I'm so excited to get back into our family traditions because I missed my family and all the things family get togethers we missed out on. Happy to be back :)

My favorite 4th of July tradition is lighting off fireworks with the family mobrien3135@gmail.com
My favorite tradition is having a BBQ at our favorite lake. There is always way to much found. Then fireworks. LOL!
tjahaira@gmail.com
My favorite tradition has always been to go to the beach and watch the fireworks show that the casinos put on. I am afraid that this year we are going to skip it do to family health. Instead we will sit home and have a movie marathon that includes Independence Day and Captain America...LOL

My Favorite 4th of July tradition is a BBQ and fireworks with the kids. My kids are 16 and 18 but watching the fireworks at the park makes them seem like they are 6 and 8 all over again! :)
My favorite 4th of July tradition is blueberry cobbler with the real buttery shortbread on top. I look forward to the 4th of July all year long because the cobbler is waaaay too fattening to make regularly and I know I'm going to gorge myself on it.
My family get together and bbq and play outdoor games. Then we sit on the roof and watch the fireworks
Having a picnic with my family and playing softball afterwards.
Hanging out with the family.
Thanks for the giveaway.
having a picnic and watching fireworks :D
When I was a kid my small town used to have a 4th of July day. The fire deptartment did bbq, their were games, and craft booths. Even a dunk tank!! Then everyone would fill up the practice football field to watch the fire works. The grand finale always ended with a firework flag display. ah, I miss those days! Now, it's time at my brother's house on the lake. Not quit the same, but the kids love it and I enjoy seeing the fireworks on the lake.
thanks so much for giving us an opportunity to win some goodies!
i hope i can win in canada!! we dont have july 4th, we have the 1st.. and i love fireworks, being with family, and EATING!!! lol.. lots of food.. bbqs.. yum!!

The fire pit at night for s'mores and sparklers with the kids. Looking forward to it. :)
Family gets together -- but my kids would say fireworks!
My favorite July 4th tradition is going to my Mom and step-dad's family cookout, then meeting at the in-laws to watch fireworks over the park :) Been doing it every year for the past 6 years and its soo much fun! Wouldn't change it

We have friends over and bbq and do our little 'legal' fireworks show as all our neighbors around us light off the fun bootleg fireworks :) awesome!!!
I was born on the forth of July.... my tradition is to go visit a war memorial where ever we are whether it be here or elsewhere. The forth is a celebration on freedom. I want to remember all those who have helped make that happen.

We watch out neighbors burn their Christmas Tree (yes, they save their Christmas Tree for the 4th of July); they put it out in the middle of the street, load it with firecrackers and set it on fire. Quite the sight!
This is going to sound silly but mine is watching the Superman movies (with Christopher Reeves) with my mom.

Being with my children and family for the 4th of July is our tradition. Knowing that we have that right and freedom to celebrate anyway we like is always in my thoughts. Hope you enjoy your independence day!

We will usually grill some burgers and brats and watch my son play in his pool.

My friends and family gets together at a lake that is close to us and have a huge party with a new theme every year. We dress up in costumes and cook out and just enjoy each other. This years theme is "Margaritaville" so I'm sure there will be lots of Hawaiian shirts and Jimmy Buffett music!
My favorite 4th of July tradition is the BBQ's with friends and family and of course the fireworks. If we do not get a massive amount of rain between now and the 4th however I do believe we will have a sparkless one. =(
We always make s'mores in our portable fire pit in our driveway with all the neighbors! It's also a great way for us to light all the sparklers for the kids.
we dont have july 4th coz i live in indonesia..
but maybe if i have iam going to beach with my family and watching fireworks..
thanks for the chance..^^
BBQing with the family and then watching/doing fireworks after dark.
Fireworks with the family if weather cooperates!!
Being a Scot living in Australia I don't celebrate the 4th of July but one of my favourite movie scenes is in The Great Escape when Steve McQueen and James Garner make the potato booze and everyone gets drunk on it. Thanks for reminding me of it
We have a HUGE bbq/cookout with the family. Parents, in-laws, nieces, nephews, grandnieces/nephews, kids, grandkids, friends...and whoever else wanders in. It's a big pot-luck gathering...lots of food and fun. Fireworks when it gets dark...and then poker and margaritas to celebrate another year of Independence...and the fact that (after a quick check) everyone still has all their digits! ROFL!! :)
BBQ ribs, homemade potato salad and macaroni salad, watching the fireworks off in the distance (while praying it ends soon 'cause I'm getting ate up by mosquitoes and it's humid as a wet blanket!)
=)
Sad to say. I work every fourth of July. But I do enjoy a bbq dinner before. I go.
After the passing of my Mom I'm alone. So I take my 4th of july cake and ice cream out on the screened in front porch and watch the fireworks display over the bay.

As a child, my favorite tradition for 4th of July was playing with the sparklers. They were great fun! My twin sister and I would create "pictures' with them in the air. And then when our younger brother (younger by 2 yrs) was old enough to play as well, we taught him how to draw w/ them.
Now, as an adult and waiting to finalize our adoption for our kids, I'm looking forward to continuing this tradition and adding more!!!
Our 4th of July is the one day of total relaxation. No work talk and no bill talk. We have Friends and Friends of friends and family over.
The guys at bar-b-q and set up firework display area, they ladies cooking and catching up in the kitchen and the kids giggle in the sprinler with snowcones (thats my favorite. I love giggles) We end the day with the colective fireworks.
We have a family BBQ/birthday party for my Father in Law as his birthday is the 3rd. Then if it isn't to dry out we join in with the rest our neighbors and set off fire works ourselvs since we are in city limits and not county limits! It is always tons of fun!
On years like this one that it is too dry and there is a burn ban in place...we just sit back enjoy the company and watch the 4 different fireworks shows we can see from our house. They are a little far off but still super fun!

We usually end up celebrating my sister's and my son's birthday since her B-Day is the 3rd and his is the 5th.
How we celebrate July 4th really depends on where Uncle Sam has us living. In Alaska we didn't have fireworks because of the daylight, in North Carolina our kids got to see fireworks for the first time(they were 5 and 7 at the time), and now we are in Wyoming but there is a fireworks ban(definitely need the ban though). I guess this year we will just have a BBQ and get ready for my hubby's deployment on the 12th.

Our family spends the 4th at the town fair and then watch the fireworks display. Sounds like it's going to be a hot one! Thanks for the awesome contest!!

Since we don´t celebrate 4th of july in Sweden, i´ll have to go with how i love celebrating Swedens day, june 6th.
If it´s a sunny day, i´d love eating a fancy cake =) and drinking coffee outside. If it´s bad weather, we´ll do it indoors.

Every year we go to the Go 4th festival at the lake. After that we go to my house for a BBQ with the neighbor and have our own fireworks display. My husband plans it for a couple months before the actual day, so it is pretty big.
My favor tradition was going down to the River to swim all day then camping out to watch the fireworks as they're shot over the river. We always had a great spot that had an excellent view of the fireworks over the bridge.
I"m not American so don't celebrate; does this mean I don't qualify for the giveaway? *pitiful look*
Wishing everyone a Happy 4th July!

My absolute favorite thing to do on the 4th of July is having a huge celebration picnic with family and friends. The water games, food, and especially the fireworks. The fireworks always seem to bring the kid out in me. Hehee!!

My fav thing about the 4th is a bbq with the family, watching the kids play with sparklers & poppers while drinking a cold beer, then how excited the kids are over the big fireworks! Kids are amazing on the 4th i only wish i still had that much excitement!!

We go to a friends house to set off fireworks and barbeque. Our friends provide dinner and we bring dessert and snacks and we combine efforts on the fireworks to give the kids a good show.
I'm at home with my mom, dad, beloved husband and my baby (dog) sister!
Bar-Bee-Quuue. The time of year to put a husband to good use. Especially when he is an ex-military cook. And to top it off, a very special dessert; his seasoning and grilling me after all the guest have left.
My favorite tradition is eating Watermelon and taking my daughter to see fireworks!
We don't have 4th of July celebrations here in the Uk but any celebration would be family time, all spent together having fun . :-)
Not everybody on my street can afford to have a 4th of July party so I decided to have one for my whole street. I got my husband and his friends to all chip in and have a big party and fireworks for everybody.
We always have a big party and fly in live crawfish - my husband is from New Orleans. Since we live in Florida, this is a bigger deal than you think. We also cook a big Cuban style in a China Box. Everyone brings a dish to share and we hang out all afternoon and night. We shoot off fireworks when it gets dark. It's a lot of fun!
