I hope your fourth was as awesome as ours! We both randomly had the day off, so we decided to celebrate it with our Carmen family who live 2 1/2 hours away. You can't get more American than going shooting and having an amazing steak dinner cooked by Susan!
I did have a little bit of a watercolour commission to finish off, it was nice just to rest and paint.
We wore ourselves out so bad we all fell asleep on the couch.... but it made for us being super energetic for the fireworks that were showing at the city car racing tracks!
It was cold. But that's Wyoming! It actually thunderstormed and we didn't think we'd get any fireworks that night --but it stopped moments before. The radio station played music and speech clips as the fireworks went off. I've never done it that way, (the car radio going) --it definitely made it better in my opinion! Kristine was pretty bummed (Austin's sister that goes to UW too) because she had to work her CNA job, and missed out on most the day with us. But she was able to catch them on the drive home! And like I said... we were all hyper and we stayed up way too late for our own good that night haha.
Especially since these were all the cars getting out of the stadium...
It was a short visit because I had to work again, so the next morning we left. His family collects all the brass people leave on the shooting range, and we collected enough to pay for gas home. Also, we had my old copper scrap from Intaglio, and I was able to get $50 back. We used it to get a fire pit, outdoor candle lanterns, and folding chairs. Late summer nights and BBQ outside have never been better.
Our landlord has been fixing up our yard and improving the house during this summer too, so it looks like we got a whole new backyard.
Summer nights, oh how we love them! Nothing like coming home from work and sitting together around a fire, eating our dinner!
Happy Fourth and Summers from Laramie xoxo
