In Review: The 4th of July 2011

The forth of July is always one of my favorite holidays. This year was a little too busy for us to leave town-- then we all got the plague and didn't do any of the things we were supposed to do anyway! Luckily by Monday (the actual holiday) we were much better and were able to get out for a few activities!

We hiked part way up the Lower Monument Canyon

You can see the Monument (sort of-- have I mentioned I should probably get a new camera?!) in the picture above -- it is the "tower" to the left of the cliffs.

My awesome hiking companions!

. . . and my work horse!



Went to the park to play and enjoy some shade

Tried out the GJ parade (pretty weak sauce)

Love this picture of Burke-- his feet were dangling-- I asked him if he felt like a kid with his feet not touching the ground!

Cute little patriot!

Overall a very fun day!
