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.

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!

Snow Fest was a HUGE success!
Snow Fest attracted thousands Saturday
Little Riley Jenson, 4, could barely contain her excitement as she watched people sled down the hills and make snow angels in the "Snow Man Park" during the City's Snow Fest on Saturday.
"Wow that's so neat," the youngster said while watching folks zip down the snow-covered "Grand Mountain" hill.
More than 1,200 people enjoyed watching and taking part in the City event that transformed the park at Aliso Viejo Town Center into a winter wonderland with 50 tons of snow.
It was quite a day. Under clear blue skies, kids and their parents alike enjoyed sledding down Grand Mountain and Bunny Hill and playing in the Snow Man Park. Local groups, business and non-profits offered up information and goods and a DJ kept the crowd moving and grooving to the latest tunes. More than 100 volunteers from Aliso Niguel High School's Key Club, Honor Society and Leo Club; Boy Scout Troop 700; and volunteers from the City's Community Volunteer Program helped to make the event a grand success.
For some youngsters, it was the first time seeing or playing in the snow. For others, it was a mini-vacation - without having to drive miles to get to the snow. For all who attended Snow Fest, it seemed to be a memorable experience and really good time.
Pete and Janet Choi were having lunch in Town Center when they strolled up the hill and saw the fun taking place.
What a wonderful event for the City to provide its residents," Janet Choi said, noting that next year she'll register to bring her 10-year-old son, Aiden, to the event.
The City of Aliso Viejo is proud to offer the community events like Snow Fest, Founder's Day Fair and others. To stay apprised of events, news and information in Aliso Viejo, stay tuned to the City's eNewsletter and follow the City on Twitter.
If you have never been to this, it is really fun. The big hill in Grand Park turns into a sled hill.
Check it out next year.. you have to respond to the advance notice because reservations fill up quickly!
