A Very Happy 4th of July Weekend

Alamosa Fireworks Display, originally uploaded by Cielo Azul Images.

As noted on Rebecca's blog, this was a great weekend spent making many memories with both sides of the family. Last night we burned the midnight oil and kept the little girls up late for the local fireworks display. It was a blast and the weather was perfect. I was experimenting with taking pictures of the fireworks, something I have never done before. I had read about it some online and gained a few tips. Several of them turned out pretty neat. The rest can be seen on my photo album. What a blessing it is to live in the country we do, and enjoy the freedoms and luxuries that most only dream about. As we gear up to move to the other side of the planet soon, we have really been trying to soak up the small things that will be 3-4 years until we enjoy them again.
