Let the 4th of July Celebration begin. We are having a huge celebration at our church tonight. I would say there is probably close to 2,000 people gathered in with food trucks, family, and friends. It's my favorite time of the summer. What are your summer traditions?

Fortunately my dog also responds really well to calming music. But I don’t have it playing 24/7, which is the time period the mortars are most likely to go off. 🙄

For real. I used to hate summer break because I didn't get to see my coworkers, students, and their families. But frankly, I am 150% enjoying being away from it this summer.

Staying away from crowds and loud firework noises and firecrackers. Keeping it nice, peaceful and quiet. Bet lots of people have the same idea as me : )

After one celebration, I'm done. This year, we will be at the Gulf Shores, and I hear they have a good display-so I guess I'll get two displays this year.

I've always loved July 4th celebrations. There's just something great about them. I've always liked reading about the celebrations in history, people would gather in small towns and someone would read the Declaration. Lately I've been advocating for people to read the speech Frederick Douglass delivered in the 1850s, on the meaning of the day to an enslaved person. And after some serious reflection, it's great to have the cookouts and fireworks.

I love this! Maybe I am an old fogey, but traditions are so important. So many people are dismissive about tradition and think they don't/shouldn't matter.

Your pic is beautiful. Looks like a great time ❤️

It was a great time. I love it because of the pre-fireworks events and seeing friends. Everything is so relaxed.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
