Happy Birthday USA.

The Family 4th at Lake Union again delivered a pride-inducing Independence day
The US knows how to make things go boom.
Hooray for 'Merika.
Alina Ptak and Helen Aprikyan wave the flag.
Lady Liberty is not happy that this jovial fellow is blocking her view.
Impressive as always.
Chaperoned by the Statue of Liberty.
Thien Thea Bui and Kendra Nguyen wear red white and blue flashing rabbit ears.
Kelly Howard and Mark Carpenter dance to the Dusty 45's.
The Dusty 45's keep the crowd energized.
The city lights were a display in themselves.
Stars, stripes, and a bear suit.
Lisa Erlanger and Julia, Jeffrey, and Emma Coopersmith celebrate the 4th!
Balloon animals and swords kept the kids smiling.
The corn on the cob looked delicious.
Everybody feels safe with Liberty around.

The Family 4th at Lake Union again delivered a pride-inducing Independence day display of explosives sure to make any pyromaniac swoon. Between the inflatable, life-size head of the Statue of Liberty, free-flowing beer garden, high energy of the Dusty 45’s music, and a synchronized display set to a soundtrack that included everything from Katy Perry’s Fireworks (how original) to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony it was enough to make everyone proud to be American, at least temporarily.Photos by Catherine Anstett.Published on July 5, 2011
