4th of July



Provo is an awesome place to be on the fourth of July. Early in the morning at the fields next to the hospital they have a hot air balloon launching with about fifty hot air balloons. We love to go down and watch them be unrolled and blown up. You can get so close to the balloons that the heat from the flame is too hot to stand by and the blower is so loud it startles you. Then we watch them take off one by one- beautiful! My kids especially like the remax reality house balloon and the big pink pig. After the balloons are up in the air we walk over to University ave. and set up to watch the parade. This year we got our best spot ever, thanks to Jeff, in the shade with a perfect sightline. Jenny, Jeremy, Paige and Brock then joined us for a barbeque back at our house. That night we hung out with neighbors and set off fireworks in the street and watched the Stadium of Fire at BYU. Our house has the perfect view of the stadium from the lawn. It was just about a perfect day!
