Fourth of July Twenty Ten...

It's been a tradition for many years to go down south to the Stadium of Fire to watch the fireworks for the Fourth of July. We don't buy tickets to go inside, we just camp out on the lawn and eat yummy food, play games, and wait for the fireworks to begin. We haven't been for a few years, so it was great to go back this year and resume the tradition. We thought we were pretty hilarious with our U of U blanket on the BYU campus.

The kids spent a lot of time roller blading up and down the sidewalk as they waited for the fireworks to begin.

When they would get tired playing, they would sit down, only for a second, for a treat...or two.

Mike, just patiently waiting

The kids couldn't wait until dark to start the sparklers

Kade was loving it.

Kaylee decided quickly she would rather sit on Grandma Sonia's lap and watch the kids.

We enjoyed the night and watched some awesome fireworks. After watching for a little, the fireworks stopped. Mike has this "phobia" of being in large crowds. So thinking they were over we quickly gathered our stuff and hopped in the car. After driving down the road a little ways, the fireworks started again. We watched from the car for a little while, then decided to pull over to finish watching them. I'm glad we quickly got out of there though, Mike's mom sat in traffic until 2 AM.
