We go to a city-wide festival in the park. It's always too hot and noisy, but we love it. Music, face-painting, food... summer!

I love the small town feel of going home to my parents for the 4th of July! Hometown parade, Fireman's festival, fruit flag cake, fireworks on the lake, followed by a bonfire complete with smores. I love that now I can share it every year with my kids!

We always celebrate 4th of July at my parent's place as it's my mom's b-day. However, this year we will also be spending time with friends as we celebrate the return of one of them from their service in Iraq.

our favorite 4th of july tradition would be since we don't go to the fire works (scares my youngest) we stay home (luckly we can see them from our town park but they aren't that loud) and roast smores over the fire pit, catch fireflies and watch fireworks from afar.

Those little TNT poppers full of paper ribbons. I think my son likes the power, and my daughter saves the paper ribbons for . . .later. Just like I am still tempted to do. They're so pretty, I hate to let them go.

My favorite activity is to go to the park behind our house and set off our own fireworks display. It is always a big hit for all the family- every year it gets bigger and bigger.

Since we live in a campground all summer, my favorite activity is the golf cart parade which showcases the campers creativity in decorating for the special day. Some are just awesome. My grandkids would adore this house.
Thank you.

Our family has gone down to the Mission Viejo lake to watch fireworks for years. Though I miss out on it some years, since we are down in San Diego now, that will always be 4th of July to me.

I love the 4th of July. Getting together with family outdoors, BBQ, watermelon, homemade ice cream, sparklers, and a fireworks show. And some founding father's trivia thrown in.

Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
