4th of July!

Neighborhood Fireworks
Our Neighbor, Nick, goes all out for his friends and neighbors with an incredible firework show each year. This year topped them all! So awesome!

There were some really great fireworks!
The aftermath!
On the 4th of July, we headed to Utah for a fun adventure!

I sure love them!
Sawyer, Bailey, and Emily 
We stopped in Lehi, so Sawyer could see one of his mission companions. He was with Elder Palmer in Van Horn in the travel trailer. Elder Palmer was the companion he had for the longest time!
Bridal Veil Falls
We drove up Provo Canyon to see Bridal Veil Falls. Me and Mark used to hang out there back in our college days. We were a little disappointed because it was packed! I've never seen that many people there before. We were going to hike up the lower falls and go in the water, but we decided it was way to crowded. The falls were beautiful though!

We were taking selfies at the falls, trying to get us all in the picture, plus some of the waterfall. It was so funny! We took a ton, and most of them were hilarious (thanks to Sawyer).
Cute girls!
Love them! 
It's so fun having us all together again!
Stadium of Fire
After Bridal Veil Falls, we headed to Provo for the Stadium of Fire. It was a great show!

Our traditional frozen lemonade! 
One of our favorite parts each year is when they parachute the American flag into the stadium.
The Crescent Super Band (a group of 25 teenagers from Utah) performed patriotic songs throughout the show. They were really good! The show was hosted by Montel Williams. I thought he was great too!
the Stadium of Fire dancers are always fun!
There were two fly overs this year.
The opening act for Journey was Olivia Holt. She's an up and coming singer/actress from the Disney Channel.

There was a demonstration from scientists from EepyBird. They combined coke and mentos, and there was coke spraying all over the field and the dancers. It was pretty funny! 
Journey was the headliner this year, and they were so good! It was a fun, high energy show!
I didn't bring my good camera, so I didn't get any good pictures.
After Journey, they started the fireworks. They are always awesome! This year they had an awesome patriotic salute and the National Anthem by the Gentleman's Trio, GENTRI! The were incredible! Bailey and Emily were instantly in love! They have both already stalked them on social media. :) The theme for the fireworks this year was Rock n Roll, and it was so good!



When the show was over, we had 3 happy kids!
 The girls had more fun dancing at the after party in the parking lot, than they did at the actual show. They could have stayed there all night!

Sparklers!
She's my sassy little firecracker! 
Enjoy Sawyer's face in the next few pictures!

"I'm pointing my wand at you as hard as I can!"
 We got to our hotel at 1:30 in the morning! We were tired, but it was a great day! Happy birthday America!

They were Rocky twinners, and didn't even plan it!
