Making A Splash on July 4: The Celebration in Photos by Bryan

(and maybe a little text here and there)

So pretty much July 4th was all about the BBQ and fun with friends. I took in the action from Baker where I lived my freshman year.

Here are a few pictures and videos from the day.

And also, for more on July 4, check out Matt’s Blog.

I told you I was accident-prone.

A little wet.

FIREWORKS!!!

I was always told that July 4th in Boston was something I should experience at least once, and while I probably did enjoy it when I lived here when I was younger, it was a totally different experience watching the fireworks and knowing what elements would yield what colors when burned. Go Chemistry!

At some point during the night among other humorous conversations, me and my friends decided to discuss baby names, and in the true spirit of MIT, a friend said:

Friend: If I had a daughter, I would name her Athena and if I had a son, I would name him Kerberos.

Classic Nerd Humor.

I have a ton more photos where these came from so if you’d like to see them, email me at [email protected].
