Every year our neighbors celebrate with a gigantic party of 50 adults and a swarm of children. They run more than a fireworks party. It’s a huge social hour complete with beer, toy trucks for the kids, and even an outdoor movie screen. After walking around our entire neighborhood this night, I’m pretty sure we have the largest July4 party for miles around.

Good news this year is that there were no spontaneous fires (read last year’s post and my blog post for details.)

Bad news this year is that it’s RAINY which kind of spoils the fun. NOT. The rain ain’t gonna stop our neighborhood from partying till midnight. In fact, I think the crowds are bigger this year.

I always remember the Fourth of July. It’s one of those highlights of the year that you can’t miss.

Our good friend, Matt Ventura, is planning to again set off his questionably legal fireworks, starting at 19:30 PDT. He plans to get some videos, which I’ll gladly repost.

Also, despite Chase killing Seattle’s Family 4th, people have donated enough money to save it. You’ll be able to see it tonight at 22:00 PDT, both live at Lake Union and on KING5.

My plans tonight are questionable. I have no clue what I’m doing, other than watching Matt’s aforementioned videos and likely the Family 4th on TV.
