July 4th

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Scott and I started off the morning by playing golf a Plum Creek Golf Course.  I won't mention who won.

Okay, maybe I will.  Me!!!  

I was on a winner's high when we got home, and was feeling a little hyper, so I suggested we pack our crap up and go to the city's town center for 4th of July Festivities.  In retrospect, Alec is a little too young cautious to enjoy all the activities.

Not too sure about the train.  He last about 5 seconds.

He was obsessed with the horses.  As long as he was in Scott's arms.

We thought for sure he would love the balloon animal booth.  He requested a horsey.

What is this thing?!  I don't blame you buddy, it looks more like a green poodle than a horse to me!

Scott and I had a theory that no matter what animal you asked for, this is what you got.

Halleluiah!  Finally a booth that he loved! 

Princess Girl just chillin.

Horse drawn hay ride.  Did you know that the HOA of Highlands Ranch owns horses?  And they offer free horse rides in the back country to the residents.  Scott has always wanted to own horses...now his wildest dreams have come true!  He is part owner of a horse...split amongst the few other 100,000 residents of Highlands Ranch. 

In case you didn't know how cool Alec is, here is proof.

The kids went down for naps while we hopped our fence to our neighbors for a bbq.  It was heaven!  We put the monitors on the fence and actually enjoyed our food!

Once the kids woke up, we rolled ourselves over to our friends house for another bbq.

Even though all fireworks were banned due to the fires, it still felt like the 4th of July...until about 9:30pm when there weren't any fireworks!
