New traditions

The day before the fourth, we squeezed in one more bike ride to Village Smithy and one more rafting trip. By the time our vacation was coming to a close, it seemed everyone else's was just getting started. The Abbotts and Kusters (and a few of the Nichols) were coming to town for the usual 4th of July festivities. However, with a flight to catch out of Denver, Ryan and I really didn't have much time to participate in any of it. My sweet family accommodated our schedules by re-arranging their plans. While the actual holiday consisted mostly of driving and flying, we had a few sweet moments down by the river before we left.
