Since it fell on a Saturday this year, some friends and us rented an Amsterdam-style boat and spent most of the day parading down the canals showing our American pride (the star spangled banner was played more than once). It was a beautiful day, and we had plenty of food, including American-style snacks like rice krispie treats and watermelon (thanks Michelle!).
We ended the day with a barbecue at Colin and Lauren's house and even heard a few fireworks in the distance, though we didn't have any to set off ourselves. I couldn't have asked for a better Fourth of July - unless we were actually in the U.S., of course!
Here are a few photos from the day:

This is only part of the group - we had a lot of people!
We stopped on the side of a canal for a private concert from this guy - he was good, and we gave him a beer before we left so he was happy
