Fourth of July

Yesterday was the Fourth of July, and anyone who kows me knows that it is my favorite holiday!  I don't know what it is about this holiday, because I'm not an overly patriotic person.  How can you be when your half British?!  But there's just something about the laid-back nature of Independence Day, the barbecuing, the fireworks, the chit-chatting among friends and family.  I just love it!
We started off the day with breakfast at the Black Cow Cafe with Evan (aka Tim's boyfriend)...

 and then wandered around the car show in Montrose.  Some of the hot rods were REALLY LOUD, but Leo didn't get scared one bit!  Tim was very cute, putting his hands over Leo's ears to protect them from the sounds.

After the car show, we headed home for a few and then met up with Kristin and Evan (man, those two can't get enough of each other!) for a little lunch at Barney's Beanery.  By far one of the worst dining experiences in recent memory, but they gave us Tim's meal free thank goodness.  Leo loved it though, there is just tons to look at in that place.

We headed out to Erin and Manny's place for BBQ and fireworks.  Leo, true to form, was in bed by 8, so he missed out on the live fireworks.  But daddy made sure he had plenty of fun with the fireworks still in the boxes!

So, happy 4th everyone!
