We had a fun 4th of July over at Katie and Andrew's house. We adults enjoyed hanging out on the patio, chatting, while the kids ran around.
Evelyn said, "It's a party hat"!
Later the guys played horseshoes and then raced while kids rode piggy-back. "Again! Again! Again!"
~Dad and Christie (and tiny, growing baby Boyer, who is now 3.5 inches, head to rump! praise God for the truly amazing gift of children!!)
The Boyers and McKenzies headed back to our neck of the woods and were totally distracted by all the fireworks exploding alongside the highway and over the city. Our neighborhood is up on a big hill and we were able to find a spot to sit where a huge panorama of Arvada, Denver and Golden spread out before us. There were firework shows all over to see. Arvada's was pretty close by, so that was the focus. They did an exciting show that went on forever, and it felt great to be part of the neighborhood with folks oohing and ahhing in their lawnchairs or sitting on their rooftops while car radios competed with kids and distant thunder, the intermittent sound of 'Proud to be an American' and 'It's a wonderful world' breaking through.
