We went up to Utah for the 4th of July this year. We got up there in time to celebrate Darren's birthday at Brick Oven and then Keaton's birthday at Boondock's. On the 4th, we got up early and went down to Provo to catch the tail end of the hot air balloon celebration and get a spot at the parade. After one hour of the parade, our kids (and Darren and I) were ready to get back to Jill's house to play with the kids and get our bbq going. My mom came to Jill's to watch the babies and we set out for the Hannah Montana concert at BYU's Stadium of Fire. We now know that next year we will be just as happy sitting outside the stadium to watch the celebration. Then the kids can run around. Our favorite parts of the show: the jets over head and the sky divers. My favorite part of the night: re-enacting the scene from Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Remember the end of the movie when Ferris is running through people's backyards trying to beat his sister home? Ya, that was us, compliments of Uncle Justin. We parked in a neighborhood east of the stadium and he led us through a short cut that he takes to the games. The difference tonight? People were out enjoying the great weather and celebrating the 4th. We walked through random backyards while strangers just looked at us- most saying nothing. Except when Justin complimented a lady on her apron. We got to greet them all on the way back through as they were still outside watching the fire works. Priceless. My camera was broken so I need to get my pictures from Jill. Especially Keaton's b-day celebration.

That's soo funny about the back-yards. We were just lucky that Uncle Vic showed us a great place to park and we were able to leave a few minutes early to get to the car! Crazy night.
