Independence Day

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Things here in Seward were crazy over the fourth! There was so many people camped everywhere, I didn't even know Seward could hold that many people! Geri and I volunteered to sell T-shirts at the check in for the races on July 3rd and it was really excited seeing all of the racers preparing for the big day. That night we had fireworks at midnight (it was still light out) and it was a lot of fun to hang out with KFT people and watch the fireworks from down by the bay. They weren't as good as the St. Cloud ones but they still made for an awesome Independence Day celebration! On the Fourth, Geri and I went to watch the start of the men's race, Otto came too. It was pretty cool to see these people race up the big Mount Marathon. I have a lot of admiration for their hardwork and training. I wish I could do it! Other than that it was pretty low key and all in all it was a great weekend. Work is crazy busy with all of the new tourists in town but I am still loving the job! Hope all of you had a blast over the Fourth of July and I would love any pictures that you have! You can email me at amkemp@csbsju.edu. Love you all!
