Fourth Festivities

The fourth of July was a good one this year.  I didn't take too many pictures, but I sure had fun!

The festivities began Friday night when I went with cousins to the Oakley Rodeo.  It was fun to go with them again... reminded me of old times when our families used to go together!  I always love a good rodeo!

The next day, Mike took me up to the Park City Resort to ride the Alpine Slide and the Alpine Coaster! I've never done these at Park City, but I've done smaller versions elsewhere.  Bigger is definitely more fun!

(I'm standing on a step, up the hill.  Man, he is tall!)

After Park City, we grabbed some food and headed back to Salt Lake to meet up with some of Mike's friends.  From there, we rode bikes down to Sugarhouse Park to watch the fireworks. It has been a long time since I've been on a bike, and with the cars around, I was a little nervous.  But I made it there and back without any mishaps!

Then last night, we went to the Salt Lake Country Club to watch more fireworks.  It was a great way to celebrate our nation's independence!

4th Festivities

Last night, I went with a bunch of friends to see the fireworks in Murray Park. We were trying to meet up with some other friends, but couldn't find them and the fireworks were about to start. So somehow in a matter or minutes, we managed to find a great spot to watch them between trees and directly in front of the river. It was a new experience having the running water and the fireworks together. It was very refreshing!


One guy who was with us mentioned that he'd never sat so directly under fireworks and we all just laughed thinking that was funny. But when firework remnants began falling around us, we were all surprised! Thankfully, they were only little dust particles. One which was much larger fell right into the water in front of us... it was still even burning until it hit the water.

After the fabulous fireworks, we grabbed our swimsuits and got in Cammie's pool and hot tub. What a great ending to our nation's Independence Day.
