The 4th at Flying Horse

Nana and Papa had a wonderful little 4th of July while the Regusci clan was in California. We hit the pool first thing in the morning, and got about the last seat there. By the time we left (noon-ish), no seats were left and half the grassy area was covered with blankets and lounge chairs brought from home. We lazied our way through the afternoon till it was time to go back to the club for a 4th of July Buffet Dinner. Best value we've had at the club yet! The entire restaurant (Steakhouse and Tack Room) was taken over by the buffet, which was served outside. Kinda risky given the threatening weather. But it turned out fabulous. The weather continued to threaten. In fact, we had far more lightning show than fireworks show from dusk on, along with at least three rounds of rain. But that did not deter the fireworks (as best we could tell). We could see them in the distance (southern end of Colorado Springs), all the way up to the club's display which they launched from somewhere in the middle of the golf course, about 3,000 feet from our back deck. We went to bed with continued thunder and lightning. A few more photos are here.
