04 July. Sun. 4th

irectly from Wikipedia: Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

And to celebrate such an important date, nothing better than a group of friends gathered at 9h00am + a cool boat + a warm lake + a beautiful day + cold beer + a delicious cookout + 2 lovely kids + 2 cute dogs + some pretty excitingly risky fireworks + a ride back home full of text messages + a pool game... and a few other events in between.
