Cookout or BBQ? Fireworks? Drinking?

I'll be manning the grill for my family and maybe a few friends. I don't care about fireworks, but I'll probably watch them from my porch with my niece and nephew.

How about you? What's on your agenda?

Probably gonna cook some ribs. There's a local township parade that goes right by our house, so we usually have friends and family over for the parade and a small cookout afterwards.

Nice! I wish we had something like that. Instead all of our neighbors will be drunkenly setting off fireworks till 4 or 5 a.m.

I personally don't have anything planned other than the ordinary stuff - sitting inside, chilling, etc.

Family might want to go out to eat or something. Doubt it but I don't care much either way.

My family doesn't really celebrate much of anything. We used to go watch the fireworks when I was a kid, butte stopped a long time ago. The 4th is a bit of a strange day for us, my dad's birthday is the 3rd so if we make plans it's usually the day before, also the 4th is the anniversary of the car wreck that nearly killed all of us. We usually just hang out together and try to get along.

This year I'll just be watching stranger things all day if I can.

Heading with the family to the beach house. This is through the whole weekend but what weve got planned is beach, cookout, and fireworks on the 4th, kiteboarding maybe going to see Childs Play in the 5th, maybe fishing, paddle boarding and more beach on the 6th, try to watch Stranger Things on the 7th

Wish I could fit wakeboarding in there but there wont be time. Got some of that in yesterday though

I'm not really into all the celebration aspects of July 4th, but any time I can get on the grill for a while and make others happy it makes me happy. Also, the neighborhood is full of people having cookouts, parties, and all around good times. There may be a fight when they get drunk enough, but that's any party really. I won't be drinking, so it'll be a very clear-headed day for me unless the fumes from the charcoal gets to me.

The most we're doing is putting a tarp on the jeep since my father-in-law loves the jeep more than me and husband. I haven't done much for the 4th since I was 16, although that ended with the cops being called.

Causing a ruckus as a teenager? Well, happy 4th as an adult...remove the tarp when he's not looking. For old times.

Now do you mean you're bringing a couple of jerkass kids and beer? Or German sausages?

That stinks. This is the first time in a few years where we haven't gotten any rain...yet. It could always happen just before the fireworks later as it has a few years in a row...or a few out of the last 5 years. I might be remembering incorrectly, but I'm not going to look it up.

I hope everyone is having a good time wherever you are and that you're all safe.

Pretty sure Hanky means 'bratwursts and brewskies', although at first I too thought he meant he was going to bring his awful kids to the bbq and some beer to make them more tolerable.

Unless he means he's bringing his bratty kids over to bbq them and some beer to drink while doing so O.O

It was a very interpretive post, indeed. I didn't actually know he had kids. Lucky guess.

I swear I make pulled pork a few times a year and it's really good just once. The other times it's the most meh thing ever. Same recipe everytime. I don't get it.

13 hours!? I'm assuming you didn't drive 13 hours to go see the fireworks. Were you already there and your stay ended after the show? There are very few things I'd drive 13 hours for.
