Fourth of July

It is a week after the Fourth of July and I'm finally posting about it! That morning I received a text from my friend Robin asking me to go with her and a big group to float the Provo River. The last time I floated the river was with my church group when I was 14. It was a terrible experience, I got caught in a really bad under current and thought I was going to die. After that day I vowed to never tube down a river again! However, Robin convinced me that between the raft and her expert guiding skills I would be just fine. I agreed to go. It ended up being a lot of fun!

That night Megan came from Blackfoot to hang out with me. I love when Megan comes...we always have a blast together!

We met up with Ben, Sean, Allyson, and Blake and went to dinner in Lehi at Porter's (recommended by Ben and Allyson's dad). Then we went over to Thanksgiving Point to watch the fireworks. Since we got there 2 hours before the fireworks we all showed off our football skills by playing a game of "500." Ben did the best, but it probably had something to do with the fact that he played at BYU or that my shoes had 4 inch heels!

Once it got dark we found a spot for the fireworks. The fireworks were decent, but I've definitely seen better. You have to realize that I grew up going to the Idaho Falls firework show, which is the largest show west of the Mississippi!

Besides the traffic getting out of Thanksgiving Point, it was a fun day. I love the Fourth of July and it's always nice to reflect on the freedom that we as Americans have.
