We had the greatest 4th of July!!
It was a laid back day - we ran a few errands in the morning and went and had lunch. It was a really hot day - 97!! Around 6 we decided to head down to the park that Castle Rock was doing their fireworks show at - this is the 1st time at this park so we weren't sure what to expect. We had to park in the field across from the park and it was pretty busy when we got there. Decided to find a spot and then we would walk around. It worked out great - the park had artificial turf grass so it was nice and soft (especially with Hailey crashing every 5 min.). They had bouncy houses for the kids - Ashley actually jumped in one. She got a little freaked out when she was done because she didn't know how to get out - but she did great.
There was even a military flyover. Larry told Ashley to put her had across her heart. She put her hand across his heart. Larry looked at me and said "this is a moment isn't it?". Oh ya - it was a great moment.
We had hot dogs and chips and funnel cake. We got a spot off to the side so didn't have to worry about people running into the girls. Ashley even played baseball with a little boy - she has a pretty good arm!
We even had a celebrity at our fireworks display. Off on one of the hills was a little screened tent set up - nobody could go over there - there was security, and a couple of SUV's parked. It was Dog the Bounty hunter and his wife and kids???? They have a house by Colorado Springs - but not sure why they were at our display. I'm not sure if that is good or bad for our little town =)
Unfortunately our fireworks show was cut short due to a fire on top of the hill - but I think that was best. Hailey fell asleep right before they started and Ashley was asleep in the car pretty quick.
It was a great time!
