We have had a great holiday weekend so far.
We arrived at the Schneider family vacation home Thursday night and woke up Friday morning to a beautiful sunny day. We spent most of Friday afternoon at the town of Larkspur's community July 3rd celebration at Larkspur Community Park. We took part in an afternoon of games and of course, the kids won prizes. One highlight of the celebration was that real live elephants from the Colorado Renaissance Festival came to the gathering! Annabelle took part in the Watermelon Eating Contest! Everyone sampled the free ice cream.
On Friday evening, we had a great Shabbat dinner with my parents. That was so special.
Then, the 4th of July holiday came!
We spent the day at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. Annabelle got picked as a volunteer in the Acrobat show. Little did they know they chose a "little pair skater" to spin around in the air! She did great.
It was fun to spend the day at the Renaissance Festival with our friends Sam, Hellene, and Jeff Anderson.
After it began to rain, we left the festival and headed to the Larkspur house for a great 4th of July meal that included hamburgers and hot dogs, corn on the cob, beans, salad, and a bunch of other goodies.
It was so wet outside that we wondered if outdoor fireworks would happen, but we decided to try to find a good show. Little did we know, when we headed for Castle Rock, that we were in store for "THE BEST!" We saw people, chairs, and cars lined up somewhere in "The Meadows," so we parked our car and put our chairs on a street corner and got out the blankets and waited. WOW is the only word to describe what we saw! We sang patriotic songs as we saw the most beautiful fireworks. The kids especially enjoyed shouting "Boom!" trying to coordinate with each firework that went off!
As we drove back to the Schneider family vacation home, the girls fell asleep! What a day!
