Since we live about 40 minutes away from each other they spent the night at our place and we kicked off our 4th of July with the most patriotic breakfast I've ever had. My brilliant and hilarious wife got the idea to purchase ridiculous amounts of raspberries and blueberries and that we should then use them, along with a cake decorating device filled with home-made whipped cream, to decorate our pancakes in a patriotic fashion.
This is Becky's very impressive American Flag pancake.
PJ's blueberry star pancake.
Bryant's simple yet effective U.S.A. pancake.
Later that day we all headed down to PJ and Kersta's house in Denver. We then formed a bike gang, grabbed some firecrackers, and headed for downtown. We took a short break at Wash Park along the way and listened to a symphonic band play for a bit, and then took a very cool bike path that runs along a creek from Wash Park to downtown Denver.
The plan for the night was to hang out on the rooftop deck at Jackson's, a pub right by the stadium, where we would have a great view of the post-game fireworks, so we made our way to that area sometime during the 7th inning. While we were just hanging around in front of the stadium some random guy walks by and says "hey, you want some free tickets?" Our answer was of course yes. He only gave us three, so we bought another for $10 and all four of us headed into the stadium in time for the top of the 8th inning. They were fantastic seats.
When we walked in the Rockies were down 17-16, which as I'm sure you are aware is a ridiculous score for a baseball game. No runs were scored until the bottom of the 9th when the Rockies scored two to win the game 18-17. It was awesome - the near sellout crowd went crazy. We then had one of the best seats in the house for the best fireworks display in Denver. I hope everyone enjoyed their day off as much as we did.
