-We headed out as early as we could get out of the house to get to Provo for the parade. Unfortunately with two little kids and two tired parents that wasn't quite early enough and sadly we missed most of the parade. But Caitlin still talks about the horses she got to see (honestly i think they were like the clean-up crew we were that late) but she liked them so I feel like it wasn't completely in vain. We met up with Cassie and Lemmons and Whitney and walked with them to center street and hung out there for a little while with all the "freedom festival" booths.
-Then we went to a birthday party for our little friend Liberty who was born on the 4th of July. The party was so cute with the patriotic theme and they had rented a bounce house so Caitlin was very happy.
-After the party we headed home for naps and to cool off. It was SO hot during the day and all of us, including poor little Nolan, were sweating like crazy.
-That evening we went to the Peterson's for a vivint party. It was amazing. There were tons of people there and they did a carnival theme and there was anything from swimming, to face painting, to bounce houses, dessert bar, jdawgs, BBQ, cotton candy, live music and more. We ate a lot and Caitlin continued with her super healthy day of eating mostly snacks and treats.
-Then we went to Stadium of Fire! We went with Cassie and Jeff and Melissa and none of us had ever been, just watched from outside so it was super fun to be in the stadium and see everything! Our kids were party animals and LOVED it. Caitlin was dancing and singing and the people behind us even gave her one of their glow bracelets and she was in heaven. Nolan was content looking at all the lights and listening to the music and chilling. Even the fireworks went well! We plugged their ears and Caitlin looked a little scared and wanted to snuggle but also watch. And then after when we asked her about them all she said was "woooow". Nolan didn't have a reaction until the very end during the last round he started crying and then promptly fell asleep. The big performers this year were Scotty McCreery and The Beach Boys. We LOVED seeing the Beach Boys! Their music just makes you feel happy. They sounded so good and were really fun to dance and sing along to. The fireworks show was so amazing. They were so close to us and the the show just kept going and going. We were all in awe. The perfect ending to a very fun day with the family.
