4th of July!

This year Dale's work gave us tickets to the Stadium of Fire for the 4th.  We have never been to the Stadium of Fire so we really didn't know what to expect.  I was pretty excited because I really enjoy Carrie Underwood's music and she was the big performer.  We had our reservations about taking Carter because in the past fireworks have scared him.  We decided in the end to take him and we would just go as a family.

We left aour house at 5:30 and we were doing great on time we took the University exit at about 6:40 and then a mile down the road we started into the traffic jam.  We got to the stadium at 8:15 or so.  Dale usually hates traffic jams and gets really upset in them but he was really calm and I was very proud of him because the traffic did suck.  Dale dislikes big events because of mass people and driving.

We found our seats just as the show started.  My kids were loving it!  Shayla was standing up and dancing Carter was singing along and clapping to the music and cheering.  It was such a fun night, truly the best 4th we have ever had.  Dale's  co-workers were so cute with our kids and made sure they were taken care of and had enough ice-cream to eat.

The fireworks came and little Carter found his "blanket protector"  he simple put the blanket over his head and watched the fireworks thorugh it.  It was as though the blanket was protecting him form the loud noises.  We could hear him under the blanket "wow" and "yea", we even saw some clapping motion. Shayla was in amazment watching the fireworks this year and was giggling and smiling.  It was such a great show and night with the fam.
