Kickin' off summer!

The beginning of July really can be said to mark the official beginning of Laramie summertime.  Laramie Jubilee Days, Independence Day... and a birthday. 

{Laramie Jubilee Days}
Jubilee Days started up yesterday with a Kid's Horse Show in the morning and Mr. T Bull Riding Calcutta.  Check out the Laramie Jubilee Days Facebook page for pictures and information on updated events.  Below is also a link to the official Jubilee Days website: 

"Laramie Jubilee Days started in 1940 to celebrate Wyoming Statehood Day on July 10. Known as Laramie's Hometown Celebration, Laramie Jubilee Days has been a yearly event ever since. Over the years, Jubilee Days has evolved to include a number of different events, many are still in existence today.

Starting with a Kid's Horse Show and ending with PRCA Rodeo, Laramie Jubilee Days is now a week-long celebration with a different event almost daily!"

{Freedom Has A Birthday}

Freedom Has A Birthday starts tomorrow at 10 in Washington Park.  The park is packed with entertainment of all sorts:

"Generous sponsors make it possible for the organizers of Freedom Has A Birthday to provide free ice cream, lemonade, water, cookies, watermelon and snow cones to the thousands of people that attend.  Don't forget all of the free entertainment including music, a gymnastics exhibition, giant slides, the children's parade and all the other activities too numerous to mention.  The support of Freedom Has A Birthday has made it the exciting event that Laramie residents look forward to every summer. Last year, 13,000 people took advantage of the beautiful weather to gather information at the various booths, load up on free goodies and meet people from all over the world.   Freedom Has A Birthday is sure to have something for every member of your family.   Come out this year to experience an old fashioned 4th of July celebration!"

{Happy Birthday}

And finally, today is my wonderful husband's birthday!  Happy Birthday, Brendan!  We love you!  

What a cutie!  Hopefully, he won't mind me sharing this baby picture. :)  I thought it was in true old west fashion pertinent to the upcoming events of Laramie. :)


Hope all have a lovely and safe celebration!
