I'm frying chicken and DH is grilling burgers and hot dogs for those who don't want chicken. Everybody (about 26 people) is bringing a dish to share, can't wait to see what we get! I did ask my niece to bring cauliflower salad, everybody loves it, and it wouldn't be a party without it! Croquet is planned, along with a baseball game, playing in the sprinklers for the younger ones, sparklers, then we'll head down to the town fireworks. Can't wait, the 4th is my favorite holiday. Family and country, a great combination!
