small town fourth of july

every time we went to pearl street, there were musicians sharing their talents. really cool!
just here we've got a classical piano guy, jazz singing girl, violinist teen, and a hillbilly band!


toby was pulled from the audience to keep the timer while this crazy magic guy escaped a straight jacket. he was cute, and actually took off when the guy told him to run after someone volunteeered their watch as teh timekeeper! it was funny!

little american boys....

since we checked out of our hotel at 12, we just hung around town waiting for nightfall for fireworks. but about 7, a big rain storm rolled in. we stuck it out for an hour and a half and it just kept getting worse. we decided there was no way fireworks would be happening, so i asked toby if he wanted us to wait and see. he said "that's ok, mommy. we don't have to see fireworks." love that easy going boy! and we left town at 830. turned out that boulder did do fireworks, at 1015 instead of 930. driving driving, dark, darker, darker, then, suddenly, out of nowhere, poof! like 4 minutes of fireworks came peeking out between 2 mountains ahead of us as we drove thru colorado toward utah. beautiful surprise!
