Our 4th of July was spent at my Aunt and Uncle’s house on the shore of an island (Camano Island for those who are familiar). They host family every year and we have a cornhole tournament followed by fresh oysters cooked on the BBQ, and then dinner (also usually cooked on the grill).
The weather was perfect, in the low-80s and sunny - which is a rarity for the 4th in the Seattle area.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone else was up to!

We are in Canada so we celebrated a few days earlier than July 4th. We celebrated Canada Day in the backyard with our six youngest children and our youngest grandson. We had a BBQ, played badminton, and taught the kids how to play horseshoes.

Ugh, I’m so sorry you were sick @dahn - that is the worst. Hopefully you were able to get something else on the books for fun family time!
@Nosheenbabar - congrats to your daughter (and you)! I bet it was lovely.
@BBQandBaking - that’s right, I forgot that Canada Day is so close to 4th of July! I bet the kids loved learning how to play horseshoes.
Congratulations, on your daughters’ wedding. I’m glad you got some relaxing time after the wedding.
I’m feeling back to normal now, thanks Taryn!

I’ve been so out of the loop for the past few weeks! Just getting back into the forum.
We spent the fourth at my cousin’s house in Omaha. It was the very tail end of our summer RV to Montana. It was HOT! That night it got super stormy, so no fireworks. 
We had a great time with family, though!

We went to our town’s 4th of July parade, went home and grilled burgers and hot dogs and corn on the cob. We then proceeded to eat way too much and went down to the waterfront for a concert and fireworks!

No fireworks for us either as we were near Omaha as well at a campground We thankfully didn’t have to shelter from the storms as our campground had the tiniest of bathrooms! We went to a friend’s house for lunch.
