Fourth of July

The Fourth of July was packed with fun activities. We hardly had a minute to breathe from one thing to the next. We decided that we would make the half hour drive to Provo for the parade. It was almost over by the time we got there which was just as well because it was WAY too hot to even enjoy it.

Kaley and Tyler trying to survive the heat. (Kaley ended up getting sunscreen in her eyes so that's why she looks like she's crying.)

After the parade we went to Richard's parents' house for lunch and to visit with family. Then we drove up to Park City to meet my mom, Dick and his family to ride the Coaster. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was AWESOME! It takes you to the top of the mountain and then it weaves you through the trees. I started to get a little nervous when I could see and hear grown, tough men screaming like girls on their way down. It was really fast, but it was a blast. Kaley and I screamed the whole way down. It was definitely the highlight of the day.

Richard was in the car behind us taking pictures. :-)

Here we are making the long climb up the mountain.

You can kind of tell how it winds through the trees in this picture.

We went back to Provo to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks at the house where David lived. They weren't as good as they have been, but it was still fun to watch.

It had been a long day so we look little worse for the wear. Always need a family picture though. :-)

They did fireworks and sparklers in the street while everyone waited for the stadium fireworks to start.
