After stuffing our faces with BBQ and enjoying some quality time outdoors and at the beach, it was time to light up the sky. Roughly 3 million of us gathered along the edge of the East River in Manhattan and Brooklyn for this year's 4th of July fireworks show. The New York skyline has never looked so stunning!
