Happy 4th of July

4th of July was a busy day around here! We got up early and headed to breakfast at a bagel shop near the parade route. After breakfast, we scoped out a spot and sat on the curb to watch the parade. The girls loved it. They caught tons of candy, and they must have had at least 10 people tell them how precious they were in the festive clothes!

That evening, Tommy had to take customers in the suite to the Rockies baseball game. The girls and I don't usually go, since they are really late nights, but there was a fireworks show after, so we decided to try it. When you have suite tickets, you get to go down on the field after the game to watch the fireworks, so we thought that would be fun.

Surprisingly, Addison loved the baseball game. She was really excited to watch everything. They loved the food in the suite, we got to visit with the mascot and we played on the playground for a little while.

The girls were hanging in there so well, especially since the game started at 6:00 and they usually go to bed around 7:30. But, it turned out that we ended up at one of the longest baseball games in history. At 10:00 they were still in the 7th inning with the score at 17 to 16 and we decided to call it quits. Addison and Reagan were still happy at that point, but we weren't sure how long we should push it.

We heard later, that the fireworks didn't even start until 11:00. Then, we heard that they accidentally set the jumbotron on fire and the fire department had to put that out. Hearing that, I think I am glad we left! That probably would have scared me to death!

Finally, on Saturday, two neighbors hosted a block party. They have a gate between their backyards, so they opened both yards and we grilled-out and let the kids play. We had such a fun weekend, I am sad to see it come to an end!
