a little late, i know.
but we had quite the 'celebrating' fourth of july weekend....
first, it was up to bountiful for the july 3rd firework show, and celebrate a few nelson birthdays..
(i had NOTHING to wear for the fourth, so i decided to make my shirt..... (the flag one)... im kinda proud)
then the fourth of july party began.
we started at the provo parade. got there a little late, but enjoyed every minute of it.
then we got to go to stadium of fire with the staples! i cant believe i've never been- my dad use to always let us sit on the roof of our house and watch the fireworks from the stadium, but oh my, this show was AMAZING sitting IN the stadium.
SHEDaisy was by far my favorite, they sang one of my favorite songs, 'come home soon', and played a video dedicated to those in the armed forces. {definitely cried}
and although im not a die-hard jonas brothers fan, they put on a great show for the 10 million SCREAMING girls that were in attendance. (and a 17 year old boy who danced by himself next to us and sang every word to every song..... gotta love it).
and if you cant tell by the picture, my father in law LOVED them! :)
A few tears were shed during the show, as i felt an incredible amount of patriotism while we honored the men and women who have fought for our country, and for those who continue to do so. i felt incredibly grateful and also so proud as we all stood and sang our national anthem.
thanks so much staples for such a good time, we looooved it!
then sunday, the 5th, was my dads birthday. and for his sake, i wont mention how old he is. we spent all day eating, laughing and a PERFECT sunday evening playing outside, with a mad tournament of ladder ball. we love you and cherish you dad, on this day, and always!
