4th of July Weekend

HAPPY 4TH! Hope everyone had a great long weekend. We had a great weekend, but now I need a weekend to recover from the weekend! Friday night my sister and Casey came down and we went to see a fireworks show over at Clement Park in Littleton. Afterwards we walked a few holes on the golf course throwing golf balls instead of hitting the clubs.
Saturday we headed up to Chicago Lakes by Mount Evans for a day of hiking. Ben and I went camping there last year.
Casey was so excited!

On the way up. The trees look so lush and green!

Echo Lake. It's so pretty

That night Ben and Casey made us homemade pizzas while Meliss and I relaxed. Afterwards we fired up the grill for some s'mores! Not quite the same as a campfire, but it'll do!


So delish!

Even Casey got in on the s'more action

Sunday morning we headed back over to the Denver Biscuit Co for breakfast. It's Casey's new favorite breakfast joint.

Sunday night Ben and I rode our cruisers along the Platte River Path over by Hudson Gardens. They were having a concert and fireworks.
Enjoying our time together

After the fireworks we met up with Ben's friend Adam and his girlfriend. He was in town for work and it was fun to hang out for a night.
