I spent my 4th of July in Boulder Colorado this year

What a great town. So much open space and lots of biking and hiking trails throughout the community. Boulder has installed these bike stations throughout the downtown area to encourage walking and biking. You can pick up a bike for a small fee per month and return it to any of the stations. We saw several of them. Here is what they looked like. I hope some cities here adopt this idea where we could use them year round, not sure what happens in the winter there.

Saw a really great firework show in Louisville over a golf course.
It was a high level show, which I hadn't seen in ages.. we have low level
fireworks in Aliso Viejo. It was a mellow crowd, very much like here in AV, the
only difference is that cardboard from the fireworks lands on top of the crowd and grass!
Very unusual indeed.
I heard we had a record amount of people at Grand Park this year!

Here are some photos from the 4th of July in Aliso Viejo. It is a great family event and good firework show!
