Early July 4th Celebration at The Lakes in Ohio

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!
