We're headed to the lakefront this year. Heading out there around 1-130ish to grill out, throw back some booze, throw the football around, and watch all the half nekid chix... Maybe try and dodge a few bullets from the drive-by's too. :alcoholic

For FUTURE reference, Grafton has one of the Best firework's in the State. I believe they are ranked in the top 5 or so. They are done by the Bartolotta's, or at least they were when I was a firefighter over there for a little while. They do the fireworks in the same area where my STi had it's pictures taken.
