Juuuuly the 4th and other things

July 4th was not a fun day. I missed home the most I have in a very long time and it just was not fun! Everyone else, except waitrii, could leave the ranch that night to see fireworks, but we had to serve dinner so we couldn't. I was not a happy camper. But then...things got MUCH better, because we had sparklers after the melodrama! Yay! I was so excited that there was some serious dancing involved with the sparkler. Here's some pictures of our excitement...







Katelyn, my roomie...she's great






See...I was really excited!













So, even though it started depressingly, I did enjoy the end of the 4th.





In other news...Rain has not fallen here in over 5 weeks. Sometimes, we'll be lucky and it'll rain for five minutes, but then the front gets blown over the mountains. Everything is so dry! But, yesterday, we had a much longer rain...it lasted almost a 1/2 hour which was so great. Here's some pictures of crazy Colorado weather!







Here's Sawtooth in the hight of the storm



This is Helen's to the South of Sawtooth...you can see it already clearing...this was about 2 minutes after that first picture.



This is Sawtooth again...about 10 minutes later. That line is the front moving on...this happens daily, the WEIRDEST weather I've ever seen.

Oh! And, last but not least, I thought I'd post video of the longest bull ride thus far, clocked by Peter our head wrangler. There will be no speaking to him now...
