Independence Day


Our Independence Day started off with a bang when I received a text from my friend Diane (who lives by the construction of our new house) that said "Happy 4th...Great news, their is some action on your lot!"  We had been waiting and waiting for some action.  I couldn't believe that construction started on the holiday...but boy were we excited.







 We drove out to Provo with Tyler's parents to watch the Stadium of Fire and the Beach Boys.  We had done the same thing 11 years ago and had learned our lesson about traffic...this time we booked a hotel near the stadium!  I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed the Beach Boys.  This istheir 50th anniversary and I couldn't help but think they were going to be too old to perform.  But the proved me wrong...they still have it!  The fireworks were amazing, along with the patriotic performance that went with it.  The whole night was so grand and the kids were definitely impressed.

We had planned to swim at Seven Peaks the next day but we were surprised with rain!  But the state definitely needed the rain with the drought and wildfires.  I made my kids get on their knees and thank the Lord for answering our prayers for rain.  But boy did they groan about missing our trip to Seven Peaks!
