When we arrived, Erika suggested taking a photo of the place empty and then later after it filled up. Sounded like a good idea to me.
So here is what The Lakes Fourth of July celebration looked like Sunday night- June 29th.
The beginning
Preparing the fireworks across the lake
Flags and crowd reflection
Parade of teenagers
The Kids loved all the inflatable activities
The smell of gunpowder lingered in the humid air
During the fireworks- Michael on the right looks up at the sky filled with fireworks
Lots of teenagers in clumps, enjoying the festivities
The fireworks are over. A large light came on. Everyone was packing and cleaning up. Getting to the car and out of the parking lot. Home in about 15 minutes after this shot!
