William Weeden
Soldier William Weeden celebrated the Fourth of July with his family in Grand County this weekend.
The trip was sponsored by Operation Vacation, a nonprofit organization with the mission of treating soldiers and their families to free vacations at Colorado resorts.
Weeden, 24, started the weekend off with a steak dinner at Fontenot’s Fresh Seafood & Grill with his wife Tywane, son Lamarcus Dennis and daughter Bianca Ivey.
On Friday, Weeden said Grand County had already made an impression on him.
“I’m going to get a job here and stay,” he joked over dinner. “I really like it.”
His wife agreed it is a friendly town. “Even driving through town people were waiving at us,” she said.
The family had many activities on its list for the holiday weekend including watching the fireworks, going to the parade in Granby, picnicking, rafting, horseback riding, bungee jumping, hiking and riding the Alpine Slide at Winter Park Resort.
