The midwest is still beautiful! I thank God everytime I see a sunrise, a sunset, a cluster of some of the most beautiful cloud formations, I have ever seen. Well, I just thank God. It's been a while and I have to say, I haven't been following my own advice. Getting out and soaking up the local color. But in my defense, the reason I get to do all of the traveling that I do is because of my job. So, I do take in the sights, when I can. So, I know I'm a little late but I still wanted to say "Happy 4th of July. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! A a very love filled thank you to everyone who serves this great nation and any way or fashion that you choose. I also wanted to share my pictures with you because I did soak up some of what Gillette, WY had to offer on the 4th. Woody and I started our day our favorite local coffee shop City Brew Coffee-Gillette WY. They make a mean WY Morning Latte. Then it was off to the parade. Here are some of my favorite shots. I think everyone in Gillette was there.
You know I love free & entrepreneurship. These young people coverd both bases.
Look, it's a Willenda. No, she's just Gotta Dance.
And what would a WY parade in WY be without horses
or, The Coal Miner's Daughters. No, I did not see Loretta.
After the parade, the town was invited to the park for free food, fun and games.
Also, crowded but fun. We sat under a tree and listened to the bands play.
Later on that night, there was a beautiful fireworks display. The fireworks were held at what's called the
Camplex.
the West's Largest Events Facility. There was a thunderstorm and I was not exactly sure of what holding a camera would do in a lightning storm so. I did find a link from brave soul Taylor Primm via Youtube. July 4, 2013 Gillette WY.
Also, crowded but fun. We sat under a tree and listened to the bands play.
