What's your July 4th plans?



Recommended Posts

What is everyone doing over the long weekend?

We are going up to the lake with the rest of the family and some friends. We have cabins rented on the lake. We have some speed boats, pantoon boats, bass fishing boats, and some ski-doos.

I am a little scared about all the food/drinks that will be there, my family really does love to eat/drink. So, I am going to really have to watch myself! :):):D We have lots of good cooks in this family! But I do intend on having a good time! :D:D:D

Going to California for an appointment with my Band surgeon. Dr. Billy is such a great guy that he is seeing me on a holiday. I'm invading John & Penni's house. I'll be flying home just before fireworks, so this will be an odd 4th of July for me.

Betty, you better have a camera cuz those are my kinda plans.

We are going to N Mrytle Beach, we have a house down there. It really comes in handy for quick get aways.

This is my first "holiday" being banded, I have no fill yet but I don't want to do anything wrong. Luckly they (my family) all know about it and the first question is can Kim eat that? They are wonderful...Although I tried Watermelon this past weekend and it didn't do good with me. So I will not be taking in that part.

Hope everyone has a nice and safe 4th!!!!

Sounds so much fun, I'm so jelouse that Delarla and Penni get to party together, wish I was there. Good luck at Dr. Billy's, tell him we all think he is fine. Have a safe 4th of July and stay safe lots of drunken people on the road on the Holidays. I will be getting my tt that morning, so I'll probably sleep through the fireworks.

going to N Mrytle Beach

I heard that place is beautiful!

We are aiming for Houston. Mike has a 4 day weekend, so we are planning on taking the kids on a "family vacation". Anne asked me 6 times yesterday, "when are we going on our family vacation?" Now its turning into bribery.... "If you dont stop fighting, we are NOT going on that "family vacation".

Space Center, Water park and (God help us) Astroworld... and many bottles of wine for the parents!

Oh FUN!

I doen't matter what I want to do. I want to go camping. But I have twin sister-in-laws and they have their birthday on the 4th. So I don't get to go camping ever again for the 4th of July weekend.

Yeah, they get all the holidays. I never get to host a single holiday. I had to make up my own holiday-Crystal's Anual Going to School Day holiday...

Not sure what we're doing over the weekend. But Monday the 4th is my son's birthday, so we'll be having immediately family together at my mom and dad's that day. We're having cake & ice cream, then opening gifts, then having a small firework display. It should be a blast!!!

I'm sure that Saturday and Sunday will consist of cookouts of some kinds at our families' homes, thus lots of yummy food to eat. Oy!!!!

We had plans to go to Nags Head, NC, we have a beach house there, but my Gson was selected for the All Stars, (1st time, baseball), and his games start this Friday, AND, he has a game on the 4th. The best thing about having a beach house is all our clothes and personal items are there, so we can just scoot down, spend a day or two and head back, without a lot of hassle.

Everyone please have a SAFE holiday weekend.

Anyway we are going up to Walden, Co leaving Friday Evening and coming back that Monday. First time for us to use our Pop up trailer that we Bought last Nov for a hundred bucks.

Good luck Lisa:)

Well I'm off to Yosemite in the morning, I'll be back on the 3rd.

Bill's sister and family are coming out from Chicago today. His niece is flying from south Africa into O'Hare then switching planes to Calif, what an exciting life she has.

On the 4th we go to the parade, take out the boat and of course Bar-B-Q (easterners say cook out).

Lisa, Good Luck! I'm guessing your going to get a new port!

Happy Birthday Dylan

Crystal gets her own holiday, what day should we make it?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
