Fun Fourth

Well, this post is a bit late... I will just say that I've been keeping way too busy with Tae Bo teaching and house cleaning for my own good! :) (Kidding, I love both jobs but sometimes, since they're both so physical, I get very tired very early!) Anyway, here's the update I'm sure you all have been waiting for!

The day started with a parade in Highlands Ranch. At 9 a.m., it was already quite warm out! We didn't think to bring the camera, but the parade was so lame, we wouldn't have needed it anyway. After a good nap, the kids were ready to party at Grandpa's! Grandpa's house was a great place to just romp and spend time with family. Gammy K, Kristin, Uncle Logan, Uncle Ryan, Auntie Manda, and some of Logan's good friends came over to enjoy the great food and libations. Around 8:00, Darren, the kids, and I hit the road in search of a good spot to watch the fireworks that would be set off from Town Centre in Highlands Ranch. We found a great spot that, although not extremely close to the epicenter, had a superb view of numerous pyrotechnic displays throughout metro Denver. The four of us had such a great time running around on the big grassy hill while waiting for our local show to begin. This is the first time either of our kids has been able (or has been allowed) to stay up to see the fireworks on Independence Day. We hope everyone had a great holiday!
