4th of July in Kremm-tucky

We were fortunate to spend the 4th with my family in Kremmling, CO after the Firecracker 50. My sister and her husband recently bought a house there and my parents came in to visit for the weekend. Nate had a blast ripping around on his dirt bike with my brother-in-law and I got to explore some great trails around Keystone. They proudly call the place Kremm-tucky and if you ever go to visit, you'd know why. (Awakening to the neighbor's turkey is something I could probably get used to.)

I think the highlight of the weekend was my sister (who is 8 months pregnant) showing my mother (who has never shot a firework in her life) how to light and shoot a bottle rocket out of her hand.

The town's fireworks display was launched from the top of the butte right in front of their house. Since Alyson and Dave's house has the best view of the show, the BBQ was held at their house. They didn't own a grill large enough to accommodate the crowd, so they borrowed one from a neighbor. Why waste any energy getting it off the truck when it's just going right back on?
