4th of July

It was our first 4th of July in Colorado, as you know. Luckily, we read our city's newsletter in the mail and listened to the news to learn that Colorado bands the buying, selling, and lighting of fireworks. Anyone caught setting fireworks off in this state is fined $999. So... we went to the city of Arvada's fireworks show in the park. We actually parked at a Target and rode our bikes to the park to avoid traffic. We are really loving our bike rack on the car!

What a firework show it was! Pictures are below, but you have to check out the video, as well. You might want to mute your speakers, though, because of the BOOMS... and... the guy yelling and cheering in the video is not Thomas - it was the guy behind us, haha! Like I said, it was an amazing fireworks display, but it was the first 4th of July that Thomas or I had ever been wearing pants and a sweatshirt. It was 58 degrees! Our hands were so cold and shaking while we were taking these pictures and video because of the wind. We know you all have seen fireworks before, but we wanted to share our holiday with you. Enjoy! We missed spending the 4th with family and friends, but we can't wait to see you all oh so soon!!!
