Still, Living it up in Gillette WY!!

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.

Video from Gillette WY 4th of July 2013

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.

Well. That's how I spent my 4t of July 2013.  Hope you enjoyed yours. Blog at you later.
