Fourth of July!!

I was sad that I had to work the day before and after the Fourth!?! I wanted to be able to go home.....watch the parade, see the races, and then go to Lava to enjoy the fireworks....Ahhh, the memories ;0) But I was so incredibly lucky that my friend Andrea invited me to spend the Fourth with her family. We went to the Freedom Festival in Provo, came home and made a perfect American dinner, spaghetti ;0), and then had fireworks. Her little boy Kimball, didn't know if he liked the fireworks or not....I think that in the end he was a little bit scared of them.

Andrea having more fun with the sparklers than the kids.....


Kimball had tried one sparkler, but decided that was enough, and he would just watch his mom play....


Kimball with his Grandma in the background.....trying to decide to laugh, or cry because of how noisy they were....


Oooh.... Ahhh....These were fun!!


When I was growing up, we would buy fireworks like these... but then when we got older, my mom decided to make the drive to Lava and watch their display, which for a small town, was truly fantastic!! So, while we were watching a movie this time, I heard the booming from the Stadium of Fire fireworks going off. I was so excited!! I would get to see my big fireworks!! We were lucky enough to be able to see them from her apartment. Now, my day was complete =0)
