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!
I like the stargazers shots, Ruth 🙂
Looks like a fun evening! Our community celebrates on July 3rd….always!
That is a great series of shots. It looked like everyone had a good time.
A beautiful series, vrey nice.
Great assortment. I felt like I was there.
Getting me ready for the 4th! Loved that family are now giving you pointers! Great idea!
YOur shot with the “teenagers in clumps” is SPECTACULAR!!!” NOW. Want to see the follow-up on the REAL July 4th – when the FIREWORKS ARE FOR YOU!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoox e
That looks like a whole stockpile of fireworks! Glad the professionals are handling them.
I really liked the shot of the inflatables and their reflection on the water, and of the family as night began to take hold. Great images, per your usual. 🙂
Thanks for your thoughtful and generous comments Stef. It was a fun night, especially for the children and they love jumping in the inflatables.
I love your 4th of July pictures.
