We had a great 4th of July holiday. We just stayed home and ran some errands. Then about 8 o’clock some friends called and asked if they could watch the fireworks from our porch where we have a great view of the Greeley Stampede’s show. We said sure!
They had a couchsurfer from southern France staying with them who spoke, in order of language skill, French, Spanish and English. I speak those languages, in this order: English, Spanish and French (and je connais seulement un peu de français, although I would love to know it better). So I hung out with the Frenchman speaking Spanish as we watched America’s Indepence Day explosions with friends -lol. It was pretty cool.
Britton and I took off the rest of the week to make a long weekend. Our friend Damon came into town to visit and stay at our house. So, we asked if he wanted to do anything special and we all thought it would be nice to go into Boulder for lunch, a twirl around Pearl Street and a hike in nearby Settler’s Park.
At lunch with water misters since it was so hot!

The kids loved the fountain in this heat!

It was still really hazy out from all the fires -Looking out onto Pearl Street and Boulder down below
We even saw a deer!
And on a final high note, we drove home in a rain storm that Colorado has been desperately praying for. It was a great day!
