It has been wonderful to read about your experiences and see photos of you all in Lincoln on Independence Day!  I am sorry that I missed such a fun-filled trip!  July 4th has been one of my favorite holidays since I was a kid- for as long as I can remember, it is a day filled with family, lots of food, swimming, boating, fireworks and lots of smiling faces.

Every year on the 4th of July, my family gathers at my aunt and uncle’s home on Newfound Lake in Hebron, NH. Newfound Lake is one of the cleanest lakes in the world- and one of my most favorite places.   My parents now live year round on the lake- but when I was a kid, we had a summer cottage there- where we spent every weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Following are some photographs of my family on July 4th- this is what we were doing while you were all having a great time in Lincoln!

and last but not least, an evening fireworks display over the lake!!

I am looking forward to spending the day with all of you in Boston on Friday!
