[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expected something different from the title OP ... it is hardly "inflexible" to want to have your 4th of July party on the 4th! It was pretty ballsy of you to ask to change it just for the sake of saving a vacation day. Anyway, I'd say go and come back late on the 4th. [/quote]

Actually, it's pretty much the definition of inflexible, especially with this much notice and given OP's situation.  It's hardly 'ballsy'.  It's a 4th of July party, not a wedding.[/quote]

It's not a 4th of July party on the 3rd! People like family traditions like that. [/quote]

Really? Really. You can't grill a few burgers and drink a few beers and use red, white and blue decor on the 3rd, and then have a nice breakfast and enjoy some leftovers and some fireworks on the 4th? You just can't? Because "tradition" trumps family?[/quote]

Tradition may not trump family, but it sure trumps OP's plan to rearrange her inlaw's 4th just so she can save a vacation day to go to the Grand Canyon (without them) later in the summer. [/quote]
