July 4th

July 4th in Telluride was everything we could have wished for. First we walked the 2 blocks to a prime viewing spot for the parade. It was very cute with lots of local kids riding their decorated bikes and riding in decorated wagons. Check out these cute "firecrackers." There was also a "Fly by" from the Colorado Springs AFB.


After the parade was a BBQ in the town park and some time playing with our feet in the San Miguel River (testing out the boys' new Keens).



The evening fireworks were amazing. First of all to hang out in the shadow of these huge mountains then as the sun set, Venus and Mars were visible. At full dark there was a great fireworks show - the most amazing thing was how the fireworks appeared to fill the sky - the sky is so big here with only the mountains on every horizon. I know I will not forget this 4th.
