Gahanna, OH USA I'm not since I live in Canada!! So I guess I could answer this question 2 ways. What am I doing for Canada Day (July 1st)or what am I doing on July 4th? CAnada Day: I'm working (my first day, yes!) from 1 till 5, then i'm going down to the lake to watch fireworks with my boyfriend. July 4th: I'm getting my G2 licence! Well hopefully but I'm doing the road test anyways. Dianne, 16

Lake City, MN USA We are relaxing at home. Our son will be a year old on the 11th so this will be his first 4th. There is a parade which passes right in front of our house and I intend to take him out for part of that. Then, we can walk to the bridge near our house (about 1 minute away) and watch the fireworks over the water. If he does not like them or is too tired we will just bring him home. Deb
Being a non-American, I won't. But I'd like to wish a happy Independence Day to all the Americans on the list :)

Sydney AUSTRALIA I probably won't do much of anything. We might go see fireworks locally, but maybe not. If my girlfriend's out of town on business travel (she might be, we don't know yet) then I'll just stay home. It's not a particularly important holiday to me - actually, I'm not really interested in holidays at all, beyond getting off work and the holidays that include gifts being exchanged. etoile, 20
Washington, DC USA I am going to celebrate the 4th with a cousin in Pa. She is helping me with my Family Tree and so we will spend the holiday going over family info and then stay at her place and watch the fireworks. But the most important thing is that I will think in my heart of all the men that gave their lives for our freedoms. Marci, 56
