This quote from Sam, as told to Amy during lunch today when she told Sam that we had two parties to attend this weekend:
I am going to take all the people at the party and put them in my head. And then they will be in my brain…And I won’t like that. And then I’m going to spit them out. They will slide down my tongue and I will spit them out.
Here is the requisite postcard shot of Aspen’s Maroon Bells from our hike yesterday – allegedly the most photographed spot in the state. I can see why! I’ll add other photos from the visit later…
So our day comes to an end. After catching a road race passing by the house this morning (blogged earlier), then an afternoon spent first at a friend’s office with a balcony overlooking the oh-so-quirky Aspen 4th of July Parade, and the annual free Aspen Music Festival patriotic band concert, Amy’s uncle Gary and I went up Red Mountain, the peak opposite Aspen Mountain to catch the fireworks to cap off the day. I like how this one came out.
Happy 4th, all! Photo from this morning’s Buddy’s 5k Road Race in Aspen that came by Gary & Bobbi’s place about 8am this morning. This runner was passing by a conveniently-hung American flag. How very patriotic! Everyone, be safe and enjoy the day!
