4th Pictures

Wow our first 4th out in Colorado was sure a doozy! First it was on a Sunday and unlike Utah, everything is done on Sunday's. We were fortunate enough to find lots of free activites and were having a blast until .... it decided to turn into the worse weather! We had TORNADO warning's people! Colorado's weather is pretty unpredictable, but to go from 80's and sunshine to hail storms and tornado warnings is pretty extreme.

We found a full on carnival hosted but a local church and it had the works - pony rides, free popcorns, free scones, facepainting, toss games, water games and the coolest was a ride around the block in a fire wagon - and I don't mean a nice, slow ride, this was a "hang on for dear life" kind of ride. The funny thing that we happen to catch the very last ride and we felt really cool - until it started pouring and we were freezing the entire time.

We headed to the Scottorns for dinner and even attempted to catch local fireworks but the weather was just too much for us. So we ended up watching a movie and popcorn.

Overall it was a pretty crazy weekend.
