My most favorite holiday of all times is the 4th of July! Why? It all started on Saturday. Oh wait before I start. Russell and Leigh Ann are engaged which is pretty darn exciting because this means that there will be a wedding in the near future and I love weddings and I'm hopefully getting closer to my life long dream of being an aunt. Ok so on Saturday I went with Leigh Ann dress shopping and it was a lot of fun. Then that night was the Stadium of Fire. I live and breath for the Stadium of Fire. I love it so much. This year Brad Paisley was the headliner with David Archuleta opening. This year the actual Stadium of Fire was pretty lame compared to years past but the shows that David and Brad put on were AWESOME! I love David Archuleta's voice. It is like pure gold. I think he sounds better live than on his CD's. I like Brad Paisley but I don't know hardly any of his music so it wasn't as exciting as David's show for me. Before the Stadium of fire even started I walked around and totally saw David Archuleta behind a fence and I stared for a while but the security guard was giving me a dirty look so I had to leave. I don't know why he was looking at me that way. I mean do I look like a threat?
On Sunday we had to take many drastic measures to ensure we got the best spot on the parade route. We usually sit right in front of Provo High. This area is pretty popular so it was tricky getting a spot but witht the help of Leigh Ann we were able to score an awesome spot. Right after church I headed over to bring dinner to the poor souls (Leigh Ann, Jeff and Ariel) who had already been there for a while. Saving the spot for the parade is the best part of the parade. I'm not going to lie, the parade is super lame. The only fun is sleeping out. Only this year I almost chickened out and didn't sleep out. Why? Because of this really, really, REALLY creepy guy that walked by every five minutes and made up any and every excuse to stop in front of where we were sitting. Other than that creeper scaring the crap out of me everytime I saw him it was a lot of fun just sitting in front of University Avenue. We played tons of games and watched people get pulled over and listened to they guy sitting next to us tell us why his other hampster was grounded so he couldn't come to the parade route. That guy cracked us up quite a bit when ever he bent over. He really needed to pull his pants up.
After the parade we all came home and slept because there was no way we could've gotten any sleep the night before. Once we all forced our eyes to stay open we had an Awesome BBQ. We usually go with our extended family for a BBQ on the 4th but our little family is extending so we had one by ourselves and it was a lot of fun. After we ate we all slept some more then did some sweet fireworks.
I wish I had some pictures of the weekends festivities but I don't. Maybe one day I'll remember to bring a camera to something.
