Location: Fort Laramie, Wyo.

Date: July 4, 2011

Characters: My family (And those guys up there. I don’t really know who they are.)

Goal: To celebrate Independence Day. And drink sasparilla sarsparilla sarsaparilla. (Though first we have to figure out how to spell sarsaparilla. Seriously, who spells a word like that?)

You’ll see in the impending video more of Fort Laramie and our Independence Day antics.

You’ll also see this:

My camera went rogue this holiday, taking picture after picture of my foot.

I’m going to go ahead and blame the rogue camera for the following video too.

Because really, one has to embrace these chances when they come up.

Song: “1812 Overture,” as performed by the London Symphony Orchestra

Filmed with: 8mm app and the iPhone 4
