Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

My question is:

How does your family celebrate the 4th of July?

    We always celebrate the 4th of July by going to the beach! I love watching all the fireworks! From our balcony you can see all the way down the beach. It’s wonderful. :)

    We always celebrate it at my parents house. We have fun at the pool and eat some yummy food.

    We go down the road to a big local park, where they have a huge party and then fireworks. I absolutely love it. It stirs my soul every single time, watching the ‘booms. :)

  11. We usually just go watch fireworks somewhere or from our front and backyard :) apparently the neighbors love to light it up. Depending on the $ we’ll do other things in the day also.
