This 4th (3rd actually), the family took off to the cooler climes of Mechanicsburg, PA, where it actually gets cool in the evenings and in the morning the air is refreshing. It's the kind of place where they call for highs in the high 80's, but lows in the 60's, unlike DC, where the highs and lows are separated by about 4 degrees.
An old friend of mine lives in Mechanicsburg with his wife and their young young son. He invited several college-era friends over for the 4th weekend and just as we did in college, we got into a little basketball game. Spent 4 hours Sunday afternoon playing outdoor ball on some of the stiffest rims this side of ... uh, never mind. Then we ate and went back for an evening session that lasted about a half hour.
All of this would have been great if we'd been five years out of college. However, we're 14 years removed from the idyllic days of green grass and higher thoughts. It also would have been nice if any of us had remembered to wear sunscreen.
I'd include photos, but they're too embarrassing.
