On the evening of the 4th we went to Boulder and sat in the stadium at CU for their celebration and fireworks. We got there a little early, anticipating a crowd...but that turned out to be unnecessary. But, it was a beautiful night, and it was fun watching the crowd as they filtered in. A group of competitive jump-ropers were warming up for their presentation. And "kids" in the crowd flew paper airplanes, attempting to get them on to the field. Pretty darned entertaining!
The jump-ropers performed, a musical group formed from the park and recreation employees also entertained us in song and lead us in a sing-along of patriotic songs.
Then, the lights went out, and the fireworks began. Wow. They were spectacular. A nice tribute to our nation's Independence Day.
Sounds like a good all-American way to spend the holiday! :-)
