The most wonderful time of the year...

At least it is in the Kerr house! July 4th is what we look forward to all year long. Kevin starts counting down the days starting on July 5th. Bradley seems to have fallen in his footsteps. Right now it is March and he's been asking and asking when he can go see the fireworks. We try to see as many shows as possible. Last year we wanted to make the Rockies show but it was just too expensive and we tried too late so we couldn't find anything available in our budget. We did get to go up to Red Feather to spend time with my Dad and Jan, had a great day up there, but we were just too wiped out to go back for the show that night - so unfortunately we missed that one as well. But becuase of the rainy weather (which I'm still hearing Kevin fuss about) Loveland's were rained out so we got to see those the next day, so we still got 2 shows in. The rain did kind of put a damper on things. This happened in '09 too, but it was rainy rainy rainy all the way up until we were getting ready to walk to the park, then the skies cleared and we had a beautiful rainbow and a beautiful walk and night at the park. Last year we were not so lucky - it would NOT STOP RAINING!!! It was a little ridiculous and I thought ours would be cancelled (which I NEVER remembering happening in all my 29 years) We ended up driving there at the last minute trying to find a place to park and watch from the truck. We got close enough and realized that maybe we could try to walk a little further to get a better view. So all bundled up in ponchos and umbrellas, we walked and made it to the lake just in time. It was still rainy and a little cold and we were actually closer than I was comfortable with with Gracie and her little baby ears, but she slept through the whole thing and - like always - it was a great show! Loveland's was nice the next night too, but I'm sure partial to City Park :) Now - only about 3 more months to go :)
