Denver Adventure Week 6

We were able to celebrate the 4th of July here in Denver. This is one of our favorite holidays. I love that we already have a lot of established traditions. Devon loves (and so do I), that this is one of the only holidays that still retains in original meaning. It's not defiled by commercialism, as are many other holidays.

We decided to kick off our 3-day weekend by touring the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We started our tour in the visitor center...

We then, took a little hike to go see the Chapel. I had no idea that campus was on such a big, beautiful piece of land!

The Chapel blew me away, it was gorgeous! There was a wedding going on, so we weren't able to go inside, but there was still plenty to see...

Monday morning, we started out bright and early by going to breakfast at a little restaurant named the Egg & I. Unfortunately I forgot the camera at home, so no pictures. After breakfast we went home and grabbed the camera and then went bowling. I think West had a good time...

After reading a speech by Samuel Adams and the Declaration of Independence, we headed to a near by park to stake out our spot for fireworks.

West was mesmerized by the fireworks...

Well, for a little while...
It was a great day! We are very grateful for this wonderful country we live in!!!
