It sounds like you had a great day! I had one of the best fourth of July celebrations ever! I spent it with friends upstate in Catksills. We had lots of delicious food and homemade rhubarb pie with the lattice pie crust, scrumptious. Got to see some fireworks. Best part of all the weather stayed cool and didn't rain (something it's been doing almost daily since the start of June). During the day, we even went to a book reading and hiked up a trail to a lake. Oh and we drove thru a covered bridge too.
