We got to celebrate the 4th of July twice this year!!! It was a crazy couple of days!!! We just hung out and were lazy on the 4th, we went to church and just relaxed. Mommy took a nap in the afternoon and when she woke up we decided we better start dinner (the sky was looking kinda yucky!). So Daddy went out and fired up the grill and put some brats on to cook. about 5 minutes later, the sky opened up and just poured on us!!! It rained so hard - we had rivers in our street!! it hasn't rained that hard in a long time! So Daddy decided we better bring the brats inside and cook them on the griddle instead.
So our 4th of July cookout, turned out to be a cook-in!! We were also planning to go to Loveland's Firework show because we haven't been there and heard it was pretty good. But with all the rain (it was still raining late into the night), we didn't want to drive all the way into Loveland and have it get canceled - so we just went to Windsor (where we went last year). We parked in a pretty good spot where we could see from the car, and waited. And waited, and waited!! They didn't start the fireworks until 9:45!!! (So I got to stay up REALLY late!!!) In fact, it was so late I could barely watch the fireworks I was so tired!! Here's a picture of me and Mommy near the end of the show. Boy are we tired!
Then on Monday morning Daddy and I were watching the news and they said that Loveland (and a bunch of other places) had canceled their shows and were having them Monday night!! I was so excited - I told Daddy we just had to go!!! So he called Mommy at work and she said we should go too, so we got to see more fireworks on Monday!!! We drove into Loveland and found a spot along the lake to watch. I even got to throw some of my "snap-pop" fireworks while we waited for them to start.
The fireworks were so cool!!! We were so close some were right over our head!! Mommy got some really cool pictures of them.
But it was another late night!! Even though the Loveland show started 30 minutes before Windsor's and was about 20 minutes shorter, we still got home at the same time as the night before. Traffic was AWFUL trying to get out of Loveland (and then we still had the 25 min. drive back home!) So Mommy and Daddy decided that we will stick with Windsor's Fireworks Show! It may not be as fancy or well-timed, but it's longer and easier to get in and out of, even if it does start super late. That's good enough for us!! I hope everyone had a good time this holiday weekend, and was safe!! (oh yeah, and all that rain created some real bad flooding in Masonville, just west of where Mommy works - so that should tell you how bad it was!!!) Next update - Breckenridge!!!
