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. 😀 )
These photos are absolutely stunning! I am sure the night was just as amazing. I read ‘cheeseburgers’ and decided it was a good time.
wow, nice pictures; it was terrific having you here yesterday; do come again soon, and Shireen, you too! Only an hour from Manhattan!
