4th of July

Our 4th of July was spent in beautiful Grand Junction (my new favorite town in Colorado) The main street downtown is lined with sculptures and great restaurants and bars. The people are so nice and the police officers ride around on bikes handing stickers out to kids and chatting with everyone.
We had such a great time!
We watched a neat mountain town parade and then played with poppers and sparklers until it was time for fireworks. The show was great and we really enjoyed being together.
Collin looked so cute watching the parade waving to everyone.

The best part of the night though was at Pablo's pizza.
A big group of guys (and one girl) :) came in to the restaurant in dark dirty clothes with the badges on their shirts reading, "Roosevelt HotShots".
We were so intrigued as to what their jobs were.
So Kayla went over and asked them and we found out that they are forest firefighters!
They had just gotten in after fighting a nearby forest fire.
We ended up getting a picture of Kayla with the group. What great sports they were.
Collin wanted one too so he went over and asked for a picture and once again these great guys (and girl) were quick to agree and be good sports. :)
