Happy 4th of July!

July 04, 2013 in Celebrations

Happy 4th of July everyone!! We decided to take a mini vacation last week (hence the silence) and then came back home to a crazy 4 day weekend of Widespread Panic (I do live in Colorado so my being a pseudo-hippie shouldn't be surprisingly to any of you) so it feels like I'm just coming up for air. I'll share photos of our trip next week, but until then I hope you have a wonderful (and safe) 4th! Interesting side note, did you know we actually declared our independence on the 2nd of July? The 4th was just when it was printed! Fun facts you learn from watching the history channel.
