4th Of July

I'm sure somebody's wondering where my patriotic fourth of July post is. Well fine, here it is. The 4th wasn't a big thing for the family this year, and Mom didn't even give us money for fireworks or anything. But I had stumbled upon my camera a day before and used this opportunity to take a bunch of pictures. Around mid-day I went to Camelsbak, a park and a hill about ten blocks away from my house. There's a big hill there, and everybody climbs straight up the face because it's a great view...


So I climbed up the face as shown above....


And I looked down. Beautiful.


Looking to my right, there's a trail up top that runs right along the foothills.

Looking behind me there's bike trails and residential area and even a pond.

And looking to my right is the city of Boise.

So what's so patriotic about all of this? Well as I was leaving I looked over the trails and saw in the distance...

That's not all though! Later that night Michael and Andy and went to watch the fireworks. And I couldn't help but snap a few.



Happy Birthday America.
