July 4th

There is nowhere else I'd rather be on the 4th of July than Lander, Wy. It is such a neat little patriotic town. This is definately the biggest weekend in this town. They have a 5K run, parade, rodeo (which is oldest paid rodeo in the country), and a huge fireworks show. People come from everywhere to visit during this holiday. We were gearing up for a fun-filled weekend and then...it turned cold again. Lily and Annie got to wear one of their outfits on Saturday but it got so cold on the 4th we had to go with plan B. The weather here is one thing I will never get used to. Never, have I EVER had to wear a coat on the 4th of July. Anyway, the fireworks were awesome and Lily got to stay up waaaay late to see them. She was so cute. She kept saying "I wuv you ider-works!" Haha. And everytime there was a pause in them she'd say "more please." What manners. Anyway, Sunday we went to church and then to the parade where she enjoyed dancing to all the music and gathering up lots of candy :) Annie, of course, slept through all of this. Then we went home to relax and cookout-and then eat indoors (brrr). It was a great weekend and one that we will cherish because once we move back to Al this is one time of year we're really going to miss about Wyoming.
