So, did ya'll have a good Fourth? Ours was rather uneventful, due mostly to me feeling under the weather...which meant that my brother and his family didn't come up for the water fight the boys were spoiling for (not that the weather was overly cooperative for that anyhow, lol). Poo. So, instead, we stayed in...playing games and watching movies. And then our neighbors came knocking to tell us that we had to come outside to see the gorgeous double rainbow right over our house:
(Yeah, need a wider angle lens, lol.) At this point, we were waffling about whether to walk into the park to watch the Loveland fireworks or find something else...storms in the forecast and uncertainty about if the fireworks would even come to pass. :) Given my being sick and the already soaked ground, we decided to drive up on the ridge west of town and watch the show (nice and dry) from there. Turned out to be a nice time, though the boys say they'd rather be *in* the park again next year. Perhaps. :)
Oh, and, unfortunately, we forgot a critical piece to the tripod when loading up so didn't get very good pictures this year. Here's one that I managed to get, though:
Plus, I did remember a few tubes of glow sticks that I found stashed away, so the boys had a grand time making "rings of power" while waiting for the show to start. During the show, Micah cracked me up (as usual) with his repeated comments of (and I quote), "I think I might be enjoying myself too much!"
And then we came home (with much less traffic to contend with). And yesterday was pretty lazy with laundry (woohoo) and a quick grocery outing. Ah, the exciting life I lead. ;) Will try to get some more scrapping done to share this week, okay?
