Happy Independence Day

Nothing reminds us that Alamosa is a small town more than holidays. It is so much fun to set up our lawn chairs on Main Street and watch the Fourth of July Parade with our friends and neighbors.

























































Later in the afternoon, we had some friends over for a good old fashioned cook out. The kids played baseball and croquet and the men played horseshoes. The women sat and talked, it was all so American. Tony was the grill master and we ate lots of yummy good food. Right before dusk, we got the smoke bombs and sparklers out for the kids. We felt especially safe because Superman was also in attendance. After our little fireworks play, we all piled into our cars and headed into town for the fireworks. We parked on the side of the road by the fairgrounds and had an excellent view of the 40 minute production. The kids were so excited and each aerial display earned a hearty "AWESOME" from the six year old judges.
