Fourth of July, just really late...

Ok.  So we started this blog thing thinking we'd be REALLY good at it, which should have been a sign that we were going to suck at it like everyone else.  So maybe it'll end up going like this, where over the course of the next few days you start to see A LOT of posts about the past two months... haha  Sorry, ok?!

So we'll start it off by posting about our 4th of July, because (especially for me) this was an extraordinary one, and that isn't always the case.  Taggart's parents took us to a Rockies game on the 3rd, which was awesome.  First of all, Coor's Field, perfect weather, gorgeous sunset - It was a great day for a game to begin with.  The Rockies won, which made it all better, of course, and the game was followed by THE BEST fireworks display I think I have ever seen.  I mean, it was incredible, and lasted for over 13 minutes.  You don't get too see shows this good every day.  We were blown away.

Us at Coor's Field before fireworks.
Then on the 4th we took the light rail into downtown for a concert in Civic Center Park put on by the news and the CO Symphony.  Again, awesome fireworks, although the Rockies did one better.  The concert was pretty good, though, and we got great spots on the field, really close to the stage.  We even saw Gov. Hickenlooper.  That's right, we roll with the big guys.

This was what we saw when we looked behind us.  It was SO cool!
Overall, NOT a bad way to spend one's Independence Day.  We had a great time with some great people, and were happy to be able to celebrate our wonderful country.  :D
