USA players, what are you doing for the 4th?

[Scorpion]

Just curious what people do for the fourth of July. Any traditions or just whats going on this year for you?

We go to my brothers house in the early afternoon. Relax with, bocci ball, ladder golf, washers, or whatever and have a few drinks. Barbecue for an early dinner and its time for the fireworks. $2000 worth of fireworks to be exact. The biggest things he can find without getting a pyrotechnic license. Yes he is a lunatic and I could think of better things to do with two grand then blow it up, but its a hell of alot of fun. Family, friends and blowing up our own little piece of america. This will be the 3rd year we have done this, I am already excited and feel like a little kid

So lets hear some stories, good or bad, I just want to know

Im not American (so I'm not celebrating your precious holiday ) but like they say: Celebrate the birth of your country by blowing up a small part of it.

I'm not really much of a nationalist, I just enjoy a paid holiday with drinking and explosions. Best combination I can think of...then again I am sure I could fit sex into the day to

Sounds nice, I could definitely go for that.

Heres a ladder golf set you can buy but I recommend making one out of 1 inch diameter PVC for 10 bucks.

Ahh...I think I have played that game, I just never knew what it was called.

Being on the water for the 4th is great

I want to go the lake this weekend. With the price of gas and my cars mpg I don't know if I will though.

My kids love the ladder golf - thank god that Frisbee, bean bags and other non lethal activities have replaced lawn darts. Anyone remember Jarts?

Going to moms, barbeque's, catfishing, Fireworks on the Ohio river and 5 days off work
