This is the first year since we got married that Dennis and I went to Wyoming for the 4th - one of my favorite holidays to spend with my family. We always go to Tensleep (population: 310) and enjoy the festivities. The following is my ideal 4th:
It was sunny and warm - perfect weather.
Benjamin picking up candy
Basically we throw sticks off one side of the bridge and see whose stick makes it to the other side of the bridge the fastest, a la "The Winnie the Pooh Movie". 
This bull was so stubborn - it took three cowboys to get him back in the pen.
Benjamin didn't like loud fireworks, but he enjoyed the snakes!
A family of sparklers
The day ends with us lighting fireworks out of the city limits. There were so many people lighting off fireworks we really didn't need to light any of our own, but my dad set off a couple that were perfect. Just for the record, there are VERY few fireworks that are illegal in Wyoming; it makes for a great show.
Gearing up for the Tensleep parade!

After the parade we have a picnic lunch in the park, then a family favorite: Pooh Sticks.

Can't wait for the rodeo!
