Watched the Independence day fireworks at the lake. Great experience. I live in a much more urban environment where, as good the traditional fireworks maybe, it is a chore and a hassle to make it to the right viewing spot because of crowds and cars with the same idea. Not here. You can even let the kids run around without all your urban worries. Drive all the way to the lake shore and still be able to find an uncrowded spot. Great facilities add to the enjoyment of any outing here.
