1. What do you traditionally do for 4th of July?
Traditionally we don't have any traditions. We never really do fireworks, and most years I can't honestly remember doing anything. This year we had a great party with lots of kids in the pool and fantastic food. It was a fabulous time (although we started a bit too early and everyone was gone before dark, but we had a small firework show which was the first one S didn't completely freak out about).
2. Did you follow your tradition this year? How did you celebrate yesterday?
Oh, I guess I should have read ahead. See above. Mmm, ribs. Mac & Cheese. Beans. Burgers and Dogs, Guac, Bacon-wrapped jalapenos, sangria ...
3. What's the best fireworks show you've ever seen?
Chicago two years ago, we went for Taste of Chicago. They do their big fireworks celebration July 3, and it was awesome. Also, on the 4th we were at the top of Willis Tower (Sears) and watched all the suburban shows from above.
4. Have you ever been injured by a firecracker? No, but my shirt did catch fire during a bottle rocket war in high school.
5. Burger, Brat, or Hot Dog? Must I choose? I usually get a hot dog. Catsup and Mustard only, please. But those ribs were A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
6. Do you sport red, white and blue on our Independence Day?
Not really. This year I wore a black sundress and red flats. And red and blue dangly earrings, so I guess I did, but more chic, I think. I hope.
7. If you had to be from any country other than the USA, what country would it be? My friend Shelly lives in Belgium, and that always seems like a nice place to be. Not honestly interested in living anywhere else though. Visiting - totally different story.
8. Charcoal or gas? charcoal ideally, but it's such a pain. We live by our gas grill.
9. What's your favorite thing about this fair country of ours? Has Casey Anthony been convicted yet? I think it's our justice system. **update - they found her not guilty. Pretty sure I need a new favorite thing.
10. God Bless the USA, My Country Tis of Thee, or the Star Spangled Banner? I like 'em all. Amazing Grace, and all that.
ps - today's my birthday! :)

No traditions other than usually doing nothing special, if that's considered a tradition.

Yes. We ordered out Sarpino's. I suppose that could be a celebration.
3. What's the best fireworks show you've ever seen?
When my sister-in-law lived in a county that allowed fireworks we went over to her house and watched them for 4 hours. They were professional grade and incredible.
4. Have you ever been injured by a firecracker?
No.
5. Burger, Brat, or Hot Dog? Must I choose? I
Hot dog.. unless it's something like a cheesy jalapeno brat or apple chicken sausage or something else that sounds tasty.
6. Do you sport red, white and blue on our Independence Day?
No. I wore brown shorts, a green and white striped polo, and brown sandals. I did wear red, white, and blue at work leading up to the 4th though cause it was fun (and seems to be in right now).
7. If you had to be from any country other than the USA, what country would it be?
I've always wanted to visit Sweden or Norway, so I'd try there.
8. Charcoal or gas?
Charcaol
10. God Bless the USA, My Country Tis of Thee, or the Star Spangled Banner?
Not really a big fan of any, but sometimes when someone sings the Star Spangled Banner the voice is so good it gives me goosebumps.
Happy Birthday! I like your edit on the Casey Anthony trial! What were those people thinking! We don't have 4th of July traditions either. This year we watched fireworks on the 3rd and laid around the house on the 4th. I guess that could be a tradition.
