Photo tour of the 4th of July.

by Joe Doyle on July 7, 2008

The Doyles and Thompsons rode our bikes down to Auditorium Shores for Austin’s fireworks. Great display, wonderfully accompanied by the Austin Symphony Orchestra.

Lloyd and Kirsten Thompson made a Ravinia-worthy spread of delectable treats and we trailered the booze. It was wonderful to hear comments about the “good ones” – all in all, a fun time.

We set up camp away from the main group, but still heard the symphony loud and clear. Riding your bike down is the best idea ever.

Stealie enjoyed a good toss around grounds. I’ve had this frisbee since the early 80’s.

Yours truly with Mrs. Yours Truly. We enjoyed the ride down - it was surprisingly pleasant temperature wise.

I took about 10 images of the fireworks. Here’s one that actually turned out OK. Perhaps next year Katie and PJ can see these sights.
