4th of July


This 4th of July we decided to do something we have never done before as a family ... attend the Stadium of Fire in Provo, UT (ok, ok, so the main reason we wanted to go was to see Hannah Montana with our girls!).  Because the 4th landed on a Friday we decided to make a trip of it and go spend some time with family and friends for the week.  After spending some time in St. George with Tyson and Leah (my brother-in-law and sister) we headed up to Brian and Heidi's (my brother and sister-in-law) in Kaysville, UT.  It was so fun to go up and hang out with them for the week (and get out of the Vegas heat), and our girls had so much fun being with their cousins!  On Wednesday we went to Seven Peaks Water Park with the Stott's (our friends from Vegas) and our nieces and nephew.  Everyone had a blast!  The younger kids hung out with the older cousins all day, making the day at the park significantly easier on the Mom's and Dad's.  Thursday we took all the kids to Discovery Gateway Kid's Museum at the Gateway Mall in downtown Salt Lake City, followed by an adventurous meal at PF Changs (7 kids : 2 parents ratio = adventurous!).  Friday we attended the Kaysville local parade (they know how to party in Kaysville!) before heading down to Provo that afternoon for the Stadium of Fire and Hannah Montana.  We got down to Provo in time to spend some time at the Stadium of Fire parade and partake in their festivities before heading to dinner and the concert.  The concert itself wasn't the best (Jeff and I were pretty disappointed in Hannah Montana's performance, although our girls didn't seem to notice). Here are some pics from our trip...

It's a tradition to do the Stadium of Fire every year -- so Jer and I were there, too. We felt a little out of place with the screaming little girls, but we had fun. I love Provo on the 4th!

Dang! You were seriously in Utah?? Let us know next time if you get the chance. Looks like fun. Thanks so much for remembering me on my birthday. It meant a lot.
