Yesterday was a great Fourth of July! Minus the fact that we didn't end up going to Water World. When we checked the hourly forecast (since you can't tell by looking outside what the day will bring around here) this is what the forecast looked like:
We didn't want the chance of rides being closed due to thunderstorms so we decided to hit up the Cherry Creek Arts Festival instead. I guess I didn't realize how huge this festival was - and how crowded! The festival features 200 artists - chosen from 2500 nationwide applicants! It was really busy - but I liked watching all the people from the street while Will fought his way to look at the art in the crowded canopies.
We ate this awesome pizza. It was like french bread pizza.
They had what they called "Culinary Avenue". There was WAY too many choices.
We had to walk all up and down the street before we could decide.
There was this unique exhibit with sculptures made
of scrap metal. This was a skeleton playing a guitar.
Everything in this exhibit was kinda creepy.
After the Cherry Creek Art Festival we hit up the movies to see Transformers. We'd been putting off seeing this movie since Will had heard bad reviews and was kinda disappointed by that - but the movie ended up being pretty good! Just kinda long. You can see Will wearing his Harkins shirt that gets us free popcorn (for the year) when he wears it to the movies.
After the movie we had dinner (grilled hot dogs) with our friends Bri and Bo then watched the fireworks and lit off a few fireworks at their place with a few others. They live only 3 blocks from us, but yet the view from their roof is SO much better! They don't have any trees in the way so you can see fireworks all over the metro area - we watched fireworks from the Mountains to Downtown and over to Cherry Creek, not to mention everyone's residential fireworks! Bri and Bo are the managers for the building they live in - so we were able to get on the roof when no one else was. It was great!

It was great!This is Bri (in her new sweatshirt I might add) with sparklers on her head.
She was sad she burnt a hole in the hood of her new shirt.
Me with the sparklers.
This is Bo - and you can kinda see how clear
the view was. We were 5 stories up so I'm sure that helped.
Kudos to Bri for making this yummy festive dessert!
It was a busy day overall but way fun! Happy Fourth of July - and we hope everyone else had a great holiday!
