Falcon by Ronie Kendig — Special Forces operator Salvatore “Falcon” Russo vowed to never again speak to or trust Lieutenant Cassandra Walker after a tragedy four years ago. But as Raptor closes in on the cyber terrorists responsible for killing two of their own, Sal must put his life—and the lives of his teammates—in her hands. Despite his anger, Cassie is ill-prepared for his resistance and the fallout when she must protect the one asset who can end the attacks. As allies become enemies and hostiles become unlikely partners, Raptor fights for its very existence.
God Bless America illustrated by Peter Francis — Take a tour of the most amazing landmarks and cities in America! God Bless America will show readers how special their country is and how God made such a wonderful place for us to live.
We will have a family BBQ, and have games and a pool for the children, and then pop a few fireworks at dark.

Watching the fireworks with my family
We are going to our subdivision parade and picnic to celebrate the 4th.
This year I’m spending time with family and seeing fireworks 🙂
We are going to my in-law’s for a 4th of July picnic and then to watch the fireworks.
I am spending time at home reading, and then will watch the fireworks from my window. Thanks for this chance.
My toddler and I will (safely) be playing with sparklers and that’s about it!
I am having a huge 4th of July cook out with all my family and friends and watching the firework display at our park.
I have no plans other than fire watch. I live out in the country and the grass is so dry. Of course that doesn’t stop people from lighting fireworks.
We’re going down to Old Town San Diego for some kids activities, then swimming and BBQing with friends.
I’m just hanging out around the house and enjoying the long weekend.
BBQ
I don’t have anything specific planned. I thought I might BBQ, but it is supposed to rain.
We had a family BBQ and watched Fireworks.
We just enjoyed our family at home.
Eating and time with family 🙂
BBQ at home with homemade waffle cone with ice cream for dessert
We got together with family and grilled out.
We purchased a house at the end of June, so we were busy moving on the fourth! We did take a break for a lunch of hotdogs on the grill along with the usual trimmings.
To celebrate this year, I am going to Florida right before school goes back in / I go back to work!
We didn’t do anything special on the 4th. We just barbequed and then watched the neighborhood fireworks.
We take a trip to Vegas every chance we get
Celebrated with my husband at home watching movies eating BBQ.
We didn’t do anything this Fourth of July. We decided to stay home with our dogs because they’re terrified of the fireworks.
