4th of July in Breckenridge

We had another fantastic 4th of July with the Shepherd family. Brent and Ryan mountain biked. Trish and I drank coffee and snuck away for Happy Hour. I enjoyed a great new drink named Freedom. How appropriate. The kids went down the Alpine Slide and Brent and Ryan went snow tubing. Yes that's right there was still a lot of snow on the peak. Breckenridge has over 500 inches of snow this year so the river down main street was like white water rafting. The parade was great- lots of candy, someone handed out watermelon another Popsicles. You won't find many pictures of Baker. He has another ear infection and a flu bug but he hung in there for the most part.
