The 4th of July, 2008- More to come! (Pictures)

The 4th is one of my favorite holidays! And this year was one of the best! The day started off with Danny setting off for work and I was on my way to wonderful DIA (Denver International Airport) to pick my parents up!! They arrived safely and we headed for the apartment. We arrived and they got to say hi to their grandkitties and settled a little. We didnt hesitate and went right into looking at some models!! WOOOO! We stopped to eat at Heidie's Deli and stopped to visit Debbie & Erik at the pool! We rested a bit and headed to Debbie & Erik's. On Danny's way home he made a special stop to buy LEGAL fireworks!! YES they are completely legal here in Douglas County, CO thank goodness. The icecream man came down the street so we raced down as soon as we heard the sweet sound! We walked over to the neighbors who were having a party and then headed back to the house for a wonderful dinner of steak, chicken, corn, beans and much more! As it was finally getting a tad dark at 9:00 we ran out to play with sparklers, black cats, piccolo pete's and everything else you can think of! When those were done (and everyone still had all their fingers and hair) we went into the back porch to enjoy the fireworks with the PERFECT view. They were actually shooting them off at the new Rhyolite Regional Park which is less than 1/2 a mile away so it was the best show I have ever seen! After the fireworks it was time to have dessert! Brownies, icecream, mango blackberry cobbler and more! We couldn't leave for about an hour and a half because all the people trying to get home from the park and their are only 2 ways so it was a parking lot! But I have to say it was such a nice fourth of July!
