Old-Time 4th of July

July 5, 2010

We had a throwback 4th of July with our cousins by a small lake about an 1 hour north of New York City.

There was swimming …

… not to mention grilled cheeseburgers, sausages, and hot dogs with yellow mustard. And sparklers — lots of sparklers.

And some fireworks from the platforms on the lake. Not airborne, but the kids deemed them “awesome” anyway.

A grand time was had by all!

    what lake? nice pics! (btw, the signifier “hipstamatic” is just really painful and prime for derision. :D )

    These photos are absolutely stunning! I am sure the night was just as amazing. I read ‘cheeseburgers’ and decided it was a good time.
