We scratched from our horse show. It poured rain. The Rapids failed to rise to even a level of basic mediocrity. The fireworks show was a bust and didn’t go off due to technical difficulties. And it took an hour and a half just to get out of the stadium parking lot and to the main road. Not quite the holiday we had planned but since in 48 hours I’ll be eating hamburgers with the whole famn damily at Disney World, I won’t complain. In the mean time, while I have time to pause in the pre vacation chaos, here’s a few shots from our fourth of July.

The N-Man schools Gramma on the rules.

Studying the beautiful game intently, as any proper hooligan would.

The highlight of the night: the mascot all star match. Great hilarity always ensues.

Franz the Fox dribbles it in. He shoots. He scores to give the home team the go ahead goal.

Or mascot goalie, Jorge el Mapache. Saying Jorge el Mapache makes me giggle.

Miles of the Denver Broncos made his annual appearance.

Always up for a photo op with a fellow redhead.

Yours truly and the N-Man hoping everyone had a great holiday!
