Thursday's tip sheet will be ...

FireworksFavorite kid-friendly places for Fourth of July fireworks, a suggestion from Robert.

Please nominate your favorite venues for fireworks, and tell us why they're particularly kid-friendly. For example, if you take the family to the Inner Harbor, tell us where you watch the fireworks, how you handle the late bedtime and how you navigate the traffic afterwards. If you attend a suburban parade and party, tell us why the kids like that.

Meanwhile, care to guess where the Fourth of July photo to the left was taken?

I'd suggest the Fullerton Fireworks located just off Belair Road at the athletic fields at Fullerton Elementary. They have had the same show annually for as long as I can remember and it's always full of families. If you live nearby, its very easy to walk to but parking can be tough. There is plenty of open space to lay out a blanket and enjoy the live music, food and fireworks. The best part is that you can see the show from so many places nearby which is good if you have little ears that might be afraid of the noise.
