Right back at y'all!

At dessert, six of us in family will read the Declaration of Independence in assigned parts around the table and then have blueberries, strawberries and whipped cream, our traditional red, white, and blue dessert.  We have tried to do this most years when we were at home.  We have needed four or more of us together to make this a fun effort.

The reading has always been thought provoking, except for the year when one of our neighbors who had been invited made a mockery of his reading either because he was drunk or because he actually despised the document, or both.  

What do y'all do, including swimming and grilling, when you aren't visiting family away on the 4th?

My wife makes a cake that looks like a flag and I try to buy fireworks depending on where we are.
