Next week here in the US people all over the country celebrate with bbqs, beach days, parades, and vacations. When my kids were younger we would go camping from the saturday before the 4th and stay the whole week at the camp ground. We started out with one tent and over years got a couple of bigger tents and then a screen house to keep over the eating area. We also had a couple of big coolers with food for the week and drinks for the week. Then we had a few friends we would see every year who had kids who played with our kids. It was a great week for many years. Being the kids are grown and not living in the same state, we just throw burgers and dogs on the grill and I have a few beverages to top off the day
