Wee Ferg's 1st 4th!

Lucille could not wait to see what this day would bring...she had heard her Papa tell stories about the 4th. Fireworks, picnics, and fun but what ever did it look like? Helton was a bit puzzled too...he realized he had never paid any attention to the day and so was not helpful when Lucie asked him.

Jeromy and Helton started the day climbing the Incline (1 mile of stairs going up to Pikes Peak!) Lula and I opted for a cup-o-joe and did a little people watching. Lu's already got the "coffee house cool" going.

Later Papa had a picnic planned, nap in the green grass, and stroll through town. Lucille was in heaven...what fun she was having! Later, after napping through a rainstorm, Lucie was whipped into the car with the fam and Heltie for a trip down to Memorial Park to watch the firworks! Ka-Boom! So loud! Helton was not a fan of them, but Lucie stared up in awe. How beautiful she proclaimed in baby language...and previously had laughed for the first time!

Today (the 5th) she said "goo-goo" twice...I think we have a chatter-box on our hands!
