Fourth of July 2012

Fourth of July was on a Wednesday this week! There were pro's and con's to this. Con's were that the weekend was thrown off, and Cory and I still had to go to work and school the next day, and we were unable to do regular traditions. Pro's were, a break in the work week, time spent together alone, and new activities! We still had a pretty fun time!!!

Wednesday morning, we woke up at the crack of dawn and went down to the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival in Provo. Unfortunately the winds were a little more than they were used to so all the balloons went up and then basically took off and couldn't get back to the area for the games. Fortunately, we had never been before, so we were still amazed with what we saw! We didn't know anything better! Just Cory and I went to this activity! We then went home and laid on the couch and snoozed and watched some old classic shows on t.v. Once we got up and got ready, we drove up to West Jordan to the city carnival. WHAT A BUST! Remember, I'm almost 8 months pregnant, so no rides for me, and it was like 100 degrees outside! But, it was still nice to be off work and out with my honey. That night we went to the West Jordan Rodeo with my family. Lucky for all of us, dad got us free VIP tickets because he is the West Jordan City Electrician, and was in charge of the lights. It was a pretty great day, up until I started to feel sick and we had to miss the fireworks. But even still, because we left early, we missed the traffic and watched all of the firework shows out the windows of the car on our way back to Orem.

And of course, we didn't get many pics of the day. But, we have the memories of a little bit different of a 4th of July!
