Balloon Festival

The girls and I drove up to Orem for the 4th of July weekend. Early in the morning, we headed to Provo for the annual balloon festival. I had always meant to go, but never made it. We got there just as the balloons were lifting off. Jane, Jeremy, Crystal and their kids were there, too. It was pretty cool to see, I think everyone enjoyed it. The balloons were beautiful, except for the back of the Darth Vader balloon, which was in EVERY picture! next year I hope they put that one somewhere on the edges...

While we were there, we also went to Stadium of Fire. It is huge concert and fireworks show in the BYU football stadium. Unfortunately, I did not want to carry my big camera, so i don't have pics. But the show was good, Brad Paisley was there, they had flyover and skydivers who land on the field. Then at the end they have the fireworks show that goes with music and then just a bunch of fireworks. It looked like they were going to hit us in the eye, it was a really good show. Abby and Isabel got to go and they loved it and want to go next year. I don't know if that will happen, but maybe in a few years when the other girls are big enough. Sara decided to start throwing up that night, so we ended up going home early and just hung out while Scott worked. How worked most of the weekend, but did meet up with us for Stadium of Fire. Lately he has been involved in surveilling marijuana gardens on the other side of the state, so we don't see much of him, but it is interesting work for him, and good overtime, so we can't complain too much. we do a little, though.
