Fireworks

We went for a hike up Dinosaur Hill the night of the 4th, Luke, Zo and my mom and Dad...the kids are turning into such great little hikers and from the top we watched the fireworks people were setting off in Fruita and far away in Junction, the orange glow of a fire out by Palisade, the faraway lightening behind us, and the kids did sparklers which they loved and Zo got cold and cuddled in Pap's lap and the wind was blowing and it smelled of rain and gunpowder and the far-away sound of the fireworks and my children's laughter and just all being together...it was magical...
