Independence Day!
Day 7 of the great family road trip from Dallas/Fort Worth through Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado began in Fort Collins with a visit to the grandparents, and breakfast at the Silver Grill for their famous cinnamon rolls. My how I miss those rolls. And the cinnamon roll toast. And the fancy coffees. MMMmmmm.
After breakfast we took the kids to the park to run around. I don't know if it was the hot sun (hotter than we expected so far north of Texas), or the fact that it as the end of a fun week, but no one was very energetic. The kids rolled in the grass and just sat around blowing bubbles and enjoying the peace.
At the end of the day we bid our farewells and headed south to Colorado Springs, with a quick hike at the Garden of the Gods before checking in to our hotel.
The kids were fascinated with a double rainbow, which I could not seem to capure adequately with the camera. And it turns out that the top of the hill at the Garden of the Gods is a great place to watch fireworks for all the surrounding cities. I would recommend getting there early, because it got pretty crowded up there.
Have you ever watched fireworks from the Garden of the Gods? Any advice for others?
