Happy Independence Day

To celebrate Independence Day, I really wanted some freedom from the heat! Well, seriously, there's nothing like celebrating our country's birthday in one of our national parks, right? We're so lucky to have that close by. We headed up to Estes Park for a hike around Lilly Lake, with my niece Lilly (and her family). It was beautiful, cool and relaxing. Katie did wear pants for most of the day.





After heading home, we enjoyed some fireworks with our friends up the street.





Then I had fun messing with different techniques to photograph the city fireworks. Nothing like thinking about it (ok, not that much) all year for 15 minutes of actual "play time." Here are a few I liked.
