There isn't much going on at our house for the fourth. Allen and I are going to get up early Saturday morning and spend a good portion of the day kayaking. I hope to return with some incredible wildlife, nature, and scenic shots.
We had discussed going to see the fireworks here, but changed our minds. We don't want to contend with the crowds, heat, or traffic and I wasn't that impressed with the firework show here last year.
It's hard to be amazed with these fireworks when I am so accustomed to seeing the ones at the beach...far better over water. Additionally, we don't want to be out driving with all the people that MAY be out drinking and driving.
Speaking of which, if you're going to drink over the holiday weekend...please have someone drive you. Not only can you hurt yourself, but you could injure or kill someone else. For those out and about this weekend....be safe, have fun & stay alert.

Hubbys allergies are KILLING him currently, so we probably wont do anything for the 4th. MIL MAY cook out and we MAY get in the pool, but we have to see how it goes.
Awww.....I hope he gets to feeling better. Those allergies can really make you feel rough. Enjoy the cookout and the swim if you decide to do it. Happy Independence Day to you.
Can't wait to see your pics. Have a safe and happy 4th of July.
Thanks, Tami. I am excited about the kayaking trip. I like exploring new places :) Enjoy your holiday!
It is going to be a quite one for me. Dave is going camping and I will stay home and go to church and out to the cemetary. Thanks for posting this to Photopoints Happy 4th!
Sometimes, Janet, quite is better :) I hope you enjoy your day and your quite time.
We are on vacation in Maine, on the Blue Hill Peninsula. Flye Point is in the village of Brooklin (population 2000)....we love their 4th of July parades....small...everybody brings a portable radio and turns on the local station for some band marches as the girl scouts, boy scouts and Garden Club march down Main Street. We might go over to Bar Harbour for the fireworks...but that's iffy...all depends on how we feel come the night of the 4th.
Bob ~ I know you all are having a great time :) I bet the small parade is loads of fun. I like those better than the big ones anyway. Regardless of what you do the night of the 4th, I hope you enjoy the holiday.
We will watch the parade come through town and then go see the fireworks. I'm hoping to get some decent fireworks photos.
Happy 4th to you!
Thank you for posting your photo essay at Pretty Pictures.
Kat ~ I will look forward to seeing your firework pics! Enjoy the parade and fireworks.
I can't wait to see the great pics I know you will get on your kayaking adventure this weekend!! We're headed to Cincinnati to my cousins house. She has a big inground pool and hot tub so it's like going to a resort for the holiday! The whole family goes down and we have a long weekend of sun & fun!! Have a safe & happy 4th!!
Jeanna ~ woot, woot! Pool and hot tub...now that is SWEET. I bet you guys are going to have a blast. Enjoy your weekend with the family.
Maybe I will get some time to Gather, I don't think anyone is coming here, but then you never do know, Grandma's house is always open, Have a wonderful Fourth and enjoy yourself, no mater what you do, and looking forward to seeing your pictures. Loved Kayaking when I was young,
Elsie ~ if the time permits, Gathering is a good way to spend the holiday weekend :) I understand about Grandma's house always being open. I remember visiting mine on the spur of the moment....no forewarning, just showing up sometimes.
My daughter and the twins are spending time with friends (or were the last I heard) so they aren't on the road all weekend. I would rather them do that then chance being in the traffic and stuff anyway.
Regardless, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you so much Renda, I am going to watch some Star Trek movies, lol, with my son, I am becomming a Trekkie. lol.
Beautiful flag photo and nicely framed.

Glenda ~ hopefully you will succeed at staying cool. It has been rather warm lately, hasn't it?
