Happy 4th of July!

Yesterday was the first brewery-free day of our vacation, though both Matt and I enjoyed a cold brew or two at our respective holiday parades. Matt took in the parade in Breckenridge, and I traveled down the road to Frisco, where my wonderful cousin, Chad, clearly enjoyed his blue snow cone:


While I was taking in the Frisco parade, Matt called to tell me that the rehearsal had been moved from 6:00 to 5:00--par for the course this weekend. At least the rehearsal is still in Breckenridge.

We had a wonderful time at the family reunion/rehearsal dinner, though I lost track of the number of times a relative yelled "We're Heidi's family!" after doing something embarrassing. Fortunately, Heidi does not embarrass easily.

We ended our mountain-top Independence Day with some monster-size sparklers courtesy of the groom's family (all of whom were apparently unaware of the pyromania tendencies of the Scherer family) and some beautiful fireworks over the Rocky Mountains.
