In the town of Dennis, on Cape Cod, they shoot thier fireworks off on the 3rd. It was a perfect night for it. The wind was up to cool things down and, even better, to keep the bugs away. We arrived early and squatted out a patch of low tide river-basin-bottom for our hangout, hoping it would stay dry until the fireworks were done. No one else seemed to think the sandy mud river bottom would last the turn of the tide, so we pretty much got the "beach" to ourselves. It turned out to be a fine spot, low enough to get some good fireworks shots and we just made it to the end of the show with only having to relocate once.
Across the tidal river is the Northside Marina. They had a big party going on with a bonfire and live cover band. Max and I skipped pieces of old broken tile on the water that littered the beach - he wone with 6 skips. I got one to go five, but Max only gave me 4. We both tried and tried for 7, but it never happened. Sophie moved from beach chair to beach chair, adjusting each and testing each one with a blanket or towel, falling out of two and finally settling on sitting in Mom's lap.
Now Chase... doesn't this look like a fine spot to launch a rubber raft?

Max, when dad catches you drinking when you're in high school, ask him to tell you about the Great Fourth of July Incident.
Good yarn, for those who remember all of it
