A spectacular Fourth

The long Independence Day weekend at the Lake was just what many of us needed to relax and rejuvenate our spirits.  Weather was sunny, not too hot, not too cold, ...Just right!

The boat parade was another rousing success, and at the end deteriorated into a watery reenactment of some Revolutionary War battle or another.  The spectators were as enthusiastic as the participants.

A blazing campfire at sunset was just the right way to burn off those small branches we picked up earlier in the day before mowing the lawn.  S'Mores anyone?

The anticipation of evening fireworks filled the air, and appreciation for the freedoms we share as Americans filled our hearts.

A good breeze kept most of the mosquitoes away, but an extension cord powering a box fan proved to be the real trick to watching Garrison fireworks from our dock without being eaten alive.  There were a few families that shared their patriotic spirit by setting off some fireworks from their docks on the lake, which we also enjoyed.
