July 4th! Independence Day Involves Massive Gathering!

To celebrate the 4th of July we all drove downhill to Denver.  There we saw Aunt K and Heavy D!

Uh-oh!  Aunt K looks down on her luck!  Quickly - to the s'mores!

Wait!  Who is that?  She's not from Denver!  She's Aunt J!  Yes, she escorted an old man across the country and arrived just in time to provide MTS (mouth-to-s'more) resuscitation to Aunt K!  Oooh!  They are hot!

The fiery pain caused us to jump in the pool!  Look who was there!  Pops!

Fastidious fun!  On to the splash park!  We drove to Kansas to find the closest one...

Heavy D was there too!  He is the only one who didn't BURN!!!!

Bathwater in Denver is pink!  That makes one of them HAPPY!

We ended up finding everyone else on the Tiny Town Train.  Uncle B you would be more photogenic if you would just adopt the Muppet Smile!  'Agra bravdo,' says Aunt J, 'Here, Here'

'

On the way back to the LOE, we stopped at the Garden of the Gods.  We hiked in the wrong way and ended up really far away from any sno-cones as M's face can attest!

What a wonderful trip!  So much family in such twight qwarters - Yee haa!
