Hurrah for the Red, White, & Blue!

"...Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination..." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We've definitely been dazzled this weekend with the beauty of the Utah mountains; it's green & gorgeous in Park City this year!

On celebrating the 4th, Erma Bombeck said: "You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism."

Based on Erma Bombeck's definition we've been a very Patriotic Family today! 4th of July Parades (with Caramel Apples and Greasy Onion Rings), the Alpine Slide, the Zip Glide, the Coaster (and more Rocky Mountain Caramel Apples, Rice Krispie Treats, Kettle Corn, etc.). Park City is definitely a happening place for the 4th! Red, White, and Blue Everywhere you turn!
