Getting ready for the big 4th of July celebration

Almost time for the big 4th of July celebration in the town of Southport NC.  The town is busy as can be today with all kinds of pre-events going on.  The Southport fire department trucks have the flag held up across the road, and flags and banners are all around everywhere you can see. It's a really big celebration here. And there are 30 - 50 thousand people expected for the parade this year. 
We went to town this morning to get some errands done and see how things are looking but are not planning to go to the parade. That's a little too many people for us to deal with this year. Already today the weather is 92 degrees and probably the same for tomorrow. As for the Ts, they are happy and cool in the house and keeping busy watching the rabbits devour our plants.
We wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day wherever and however you are celebrating it!

  1. We're staying in too. We're in a heatwave here and staying in is the perfect thing to do. You two are most adorable too.

    Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

  3. Wonderful for the town to have such a celebration. But it has been years since I've tried going to any. I leave that for the families and children and I stay home where it is quieter, until the fireworks go off!
    Tommy and Teagan, Precious wishes you a happy 4th and lots of bunny viewing.

  5. That is a lot of people going for the parade! I would stay home too as I don't like crowds.

  6. I think you are wise to keep out of the heat. The crowds will make it even hotter. Surely you will still be able to see the fireworks high up in the sky.
    Have a Happy and Safe July the Fourth!

  9. It looks like fun, but as you say, such crowds can be a bit daunting. I'd stay home, too.

    I wish you a blessed and beautiful Independence Day!

    WOW, you two, what a celebration in store for the town! I'm staying put, however, and the bunnies would be a nice respite from snoozing, but oh, your poor plants!!! Hope they find another restaurant soon.....thank you for visiting us.
