DGma, I didn't vote yet because it's not multiple choice (I'm not complaining, I just haven't decided which one to pick
).
We will have a cook-out here at home with some friends of ours. I haven't planned the menu yet but I know Brats, German potato salad, and cole-slaw will be on there somewhere. I'm hoping I can convince my husband to get out the ice cream maker so we can make some home made oreo ice cream. The kids have always loved to do it but clean up can be quite a chore. We'll probably set up for croquet and play the new lawn darts game Santa brought Ryleigh for Christmas (no sharp points, the darts have a rounded end that's weighted, it's pretty neat, actually).
After we eat, we will all load into the van and head over to Great Meadows for the fireworks extravaganza. Great Meadows is a park where they hold the Gold Cup Steeple Chase race twice a year. It's a big deal here in Virginia horse country, although I've never actually been to it. The tickets are fairly expensive. The women where big fancy hats and the gentlemen are required to wear jackets so I've been told.
