We started our weekend on thursday night! We went to the 2nd annual Patriotic concert put on by our Stake. Our Stake choir and Orchestra performed. It was wonderful! I was brought to tears. I couldn't help but feel gratitude for the nation we live in and for all the men and women who have defended it for our freedom. We then decided to go home and watch the fireworks and pack for our trip. I was amazed how well we could see the fireworks from my bed room window!
On the 4th we went up to Utah. We traveled most of the day. We made a random stop north of Beaver where we found some horses to pet. They came right up to us. The kids thought it was so cool. Jenna especially enjoyed them since she is a horse lover! We then did the sparkler/firework thing up in Salt Lake. I couldn't believe how many illegal fireworks their were. We try to see Rick's brother who has M.S. when we go up. His brother looks great after his weight lose. Rick then flew home on Sunday for free on Jet Blue thanks to my wonderful aunt who works for them. We really appreciated her doing that! I stayed up the rest of the week with the kids for a family reunion.
Grandpa keeping the sparklers going! He
secretly loves to light things with fire.
These are the nice horses that let us pet them!
