Best laid plans

You know what they say about best laid plans. (And who is "they" anyway) For the 4th we had friends over, Magie and her troop. Another family was coming but they had more family come over. We did some poppers and some smoke bombs. And then we thought we should wait until it got darker to do the fountains and sparklers etc. So we watched "Independence Day" (Ironic) But of course being the plains of Colorado the wind picks up. And then it started to rain. And hail. And more wind. So by the time the movie was over (11 p.m.) the rain had stopped but it was still windy and the kids were tired. So we will try tonight. Stay tuned to see what happens. Since Peter has today off from work, we are going fishing.
