Our 4th of July was quite eventful. We got up, and headed to my mom's house for quite possibly a new traditional breakfast. I'll call it the red, white, and blue start your 4th of July right breakfast. It consisted of red waffles, blue eggs, and of course white milk to send it all down. Very festive! Your welcome family for the great food!
Anyway, after breakfast we debated (FOR HOURS) whether or not we should go to Stadium of Fire. We weren't Miley Cirus fans as much as Stadium of Fire fans. Mindy and Kels were here and had already gotten tickets, but Brynn and I weren't sure we wanted to make the trek with two small children each, staying up way past their bed times. To make a long story short, we found, I should say John found, us some tickets and we decided at the last minute to head to Utah for the show.
Well, we started the show by parking FOREVER away from the stadium and then hauled the kids in the crowds. Talk about a workout. By the time I sat down I was stinky and sweaty and exhausted. Well, the kids didn't do too bad during the show. Although ten minutes after being there Kynadi told me she wanted to go home...that made me feel great about blowing so much money for her ticket!! My favorite part was the F-16's that fly right above the stadium to start the show off right. There's just something about it that makes you proud to be an American (just as the song says) This was a bit too loud for Kynadi though and scared her a bit. Anyway, we got to see the Blue Man Group. I thought they were pretty cool. I'd love to see them for a full show. Then Miley Cirus came out on stage. People went crazy...except the people in our row--ME, Brynn, Kynadi, Corbyn, Landen, and Brooklyn!! The sound was TERRIBLE. So the concert wasn't that enjoyable. The best part was Corbyn and Kynadi dancing on the steps in the isle. Too Cute. Well, the show of course ended with a fire work show. The kids were getting tired and cranky at this point so we decided to take off right before the finally to beat the crowds. Talk about the ridiculous hike back to the car. Every child wanted to be held! YIKES
I was holding my diaper bag with three blankets, Brooklyn who was falling asleep in my harms, and Kynadi up on my shoulders...not to mention the kid inside of me (I just put that to see how many people actually read everything I write) :) It was quite the site. Brynn was dealing with the same type of situation with her two kids only no diaper bag and no kid inside her. Anyway, it was funny, tiring and frustrating all at the same time. We finally gave up the hike. Brynn dumped the kids with me to wait on the side of the road and she ran the marathon back to the car and then came and picked us up. We would have been out of there in no time, except for MINDY!!! She had seats in a different section and we had no idea where she was, which wouldn't have been such a big deal, but the kids didn't all fit in my car with their car seats. So then began the search for Mindy. Anyway, this blog is already containing to much detail and too long, so needless to say, our leaving early didn't pay off at all and we were still stuck in traffic FOREVER with screaming children, half of which had no seat belts.
So that was our 4th of July. Kind of fun, a little hectic and completly exhausting. The 4th is still one of my favorite holidays. I love the patriotism. Unlike herself, Brynn posted quite a nice post about 4th of July on her blog and I'll just second that here.
