The paratroopers are always awesome to
watch and the jet fly over from Hill AFB is my favorite.
LaVell Edwards stadium is a perfect place for Stadium of Fire!
The fireworks show at the end is always spectacular.
This year the headliner was Tim McGraw. He was so good!
He is such a personable entertainer, handsome, and he has great songs.
This was his first time in Utah and he said he love coming here.
Sun set and the jumbo screen make for a great combo
The 4th of July is a holiday that we all love around here. We love our traditions of attending Stadium of Fire, running the 5K or the 10K, going to the parade, having a huge BBQ in the park, swimming and playing games, and finally lighting off fireworks in front of our house. We started our traditions about 30 years ago when we moved to our little grey house and they have continued on all these years. I think we have only missed two times, once for a family reunion in Logan and another time when we went to Rupert. Otherwise, we do the same activities, eat the same menu for lunch, and we love it!
Sweet little Tommy boy watched the entire parade from this
spot while waving his little flag. He said he didn't like
the loud noises, but loved seeing the big blow
up balloons of Nemo and Kung Fu Panda.
We had a crowd of about 60 this year including our
many family members, their extended family
members and our close family friends.
We borrowed this awesome shade tent from a neighbor
but will probably need to get one of our own.
It helped a lot since the shade of one tree can't cover our big group anymore.
Cutest boy at the parade!
We say the pledge of allegiance, pray and then eat!
Our menu includes: hamburgers and hotdogs and all the fixings,
(or whatever meat people want to grill), fresh fruit, two pasta salads, spinach salad,
red, white and blue jello, fresh veggies, potato salad, chips, baked beans,
home made rootbeer and sodas, two freezers of home made ice cream,
cookies, cupcakes, and rice krispie treats - an obscene amount of food!
It is a great tradition, Vonnie, one that we all love. Modestly, I can say that we own the Fourth of July wonderful traditions. Thanks for all you do to keep them going. Love you.
