July 4th

On the fourth we always go to Silverton to watch the fireworks. Usually we do not have groups in town the week of the fourth but this year we did so they just came with us. Silverton is the town north of Durango and is best known for being where the train ends. That is pretty much its whole existence. Needless to say Silverton is tiny. It has a population of around 300. That said they have the best fireworks display ever (next to Disney probably) so we keep going. The town gets packed with people and it is so cool to see everyone with their friends and family. It always makes me a little home sick, but instead of wanting to go home I want everyone to come to Silverton. Here are just a couple pictures of the boys during our time there.





The last reason that I love going to Silverton on the fourth is because of this picture. How many of you got to dress like this to watch fireworks?

I was just telling Randy how I still can't get used to wearing my shorts and a t-shirt for fireworks! We always went to Nederland (small mountain town outside of Boulder, CO) and in our parkas we froze, but loved every minute of it! Your post is totally making me homesick! :) But, I love it!
The boys are getting so big! When did Beck get to be a little boy instead of a baby??????
