Well folks! I'm horrible at keeping up with my blog but I've recently been inspired to try giving it another go... So we'll see how well I do!
I'm starting small for now.Oh and the name of my blog, well for anyone who knows me... Enough said. ;)
Seeing as how yesterday was the 4th of July it seems like a good place to start.
We started our holiday with staying out late on the parade route the night before. I love how into Provo, Utah gets into the spirit of our freedom! It's one big party out there on University Ave. And boy do people get into it... :)
The next morning (the 4th) we got ourselves out of bed, put our flag shirts on and headed down to see the parade. I love the parade but man I'll tell ya this year it was really hot out! Dealing with a 1 year old certainly didn't make it anymore enjoyable so we grabbed our little one and headed out a little early back to the air conditioning. Good thing too since we avoided all the traffic the parade creates! :)
We then had a BBQ with the King family and later made our way to my parents home to have yet another BBQ!
Next was Stadium of Fire! Savannah got to stay with her Nana since I do not believe she would have cared to sit in a stadium full of people and not been able to roam free. That could have made for an even longer night so we definitely took advantage of our resources! Thanks again Mom. ;)
Carter had begged me ALL day about how he wanted to take me on his Mom's scooter to the Stadium. I'm not going to lie, I was seriously nervous about it, and was not going to give in. But I love my husband, and even if I had a small panic attack on the way there (hint hint) I gave in. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though :)
We had a blast! And seriously I must add that Fireworks are my absolute favorite part of Independence day. We then ended the evening driving home on the scooter. Oh no wait... It didn't quite make it. Yes that's right, the scooter died right outside the MTC. So we parked the thing in a church parking lot nearby and got a ride with Carter's Aunt who fortunately and unfortunately happened to be very close by. I say unfortunately because we were now stuck in an hour long car ride home. But that's okay we were grateful to have a ride!
The best part of my day though?? Coming home to a letter from my bro who is currently in the MTC.
Couldn't have asked for a better ending :)
Thanks for reading!
