Fourth of July in Aspen

Jimmy heard that Aspen is supposed to have awesome 4th fireworks and wants to go see them. Considering I thought Aspen was in Europe, I decide to just shut up and go along for the ride!

I'M IN ASPEN!!! At least that is what I'm saying in this picture!!
Once we got into Aspen we parked and walked around downtown. So much fun just people watching. There are A LOT of rich foreigners in that place! And it seems the richer they are, the more ridiculous they dress. Jimmy and I had some good laughs!

We had gone up separate from our friends and we met them in the center of downtown where they have a playground.

The Big Dawgs watching the kids play in the playground.

How cute are these boys....I will never get tired of "cute brother" pictures!!

After we were done walking around we went to a field that Julie and Bill had found. There were not very many people there, parking was right beside the field and it was a prime spot to see the fireworks come up over the mountain. Such smart friends we have!

Now...to occupy ourselves until darkness falls.....

Brotherly love...

All of our kids together wearing matching shirts. So cute!

Bill and Julie had some other friends that met them in Aspen. They had brought some sparklers and were so generous to share with our children. This picture is pretty spectacular considering Kaylee is TERRIFIED of all things firey/sparkly including fireworks. This was her first fireworks since she was 4!

K-Bug and her Daddy.

A silly 4th picture with glow sticks that our friend Julie had bought for us.

All of us getting ready for the big show.

Ya, so firework pictures don't turn out when you have your flash on...

It was a perfect night, with perfect friends. We are sooo blessed!!

Happy 4th!
