Independence Month - 4th of July, Canada Day, Día de la Independencia, and mo...

pizzastorm: Hello everyone,    Some of you may have notice that the 4th of July is drawing close, very close!  I just moved to a new city and don't have any plans for the 4th of July yet. This got me curious as to what everyone else does to celebrate their own independence days.    Whatever you celebrate, or even if you don't, we would like to see what you do! Do you have a yearly tradition, do you stay indoors and play games, do you BBQ and set off fireworks? Post a picture of your festivities or explain whatever you end up doing in this thread!   I didn't intend to make this a contest when I started writing but to incentivize everyone to snap a quick picture with their phone, we will be giving away 500 gold to 20 random participants. We will be checking entries on by Noon PDT on July 11th.    Looking forward to celebrating with you all!
