This year we didn't have Chloie with us as she spent it with her grandma in California, so with Just Piper we tried to make it extra special. We were especially excited about this years Fourth of July because we were allowed to have fireworks again! Yea! With all the fires we've had the past two years I've gratefully welcomed a rather rainy summer. We went to Cripple Creek as we have in the past. They always put on a great show. I expected nothing less this year, only I would say this was the lousiest 4th yet! No children's activities, local booths, only beer and lousy food. *sigh* Even the fireworks were a bust, lasting a whopping 4-5 minutes. Thankfully we finished with a bang, enjoying a visit with close friends and our own fireworks that rivaled with the public show. On the plus side I learned how to photograph sparkler art! How cool is that!? How was your 4th? I hope it was wonderful and much grander than mine.

Take Care & Enjoy,
