Fourth of July


We had an amazing fourth of July weekend. We spent the weekend up in Winter Park enjoying the cool weather and beauty of the mountains- and it is so slow-paced and laid back up there. On Sunday, we went fishing in the morning and Lauren got to try out her new fishing pole that Grandma V got her for Christmas.  She is a bit wild with it, but she has a great time- although it was tough to keep her out of the ice-cold water.  After her nap we went to the 4th of July celebration in Fraser- they had 4 different moon bounce things- she was a bit overwhelmed by all of the bigger kids, but tried it out a bit. They had more clowns, and carnival games- she won a pink spy-glass thing and was very proud. And she got to play on a great playground with a bunch of other little kids.  The had a circus performer show too, and all of it was free, including the fair games. We didn't make it up late enough to watch the fireworks, because Lauren needed to go home to bed.
It was such a nice time, we were all sad to come back down to Denver.

Lauren looks very serious about her fishing. I think you should sew a fishing lure on her hat next time. Did you have a nice fish fry for supper that night?
