Every year my family goes to the fireworks show put on by Weber State for the 24th of July. Usually they have it the Sunday just previous to the 24th but for some reason had it on the 11th this year. We started off the evening having dinner at my parents house for McKenna's birthday. She turned 17 today! Crazzzzyyyy. So we had yummy dinner accompanied with ice cream cake to celebrate the occasion.
Then we headed off to Weber State. Luckily Carter and my dad has set up our blankets the night before because it was packed! We had to park clear down in the FedEx/Kinko's parking lot on Harrison but we made it safely there. We sat by a family that had some Elder's with them, and another group of families that had three little girls that danced around to the symphony the entire time they played. It was quite fun to watch them! One of the little girls would do a handstand type thing, then kick each of her legs around, then do a few ballerina poses and take bows every once in awhile. Oh to be young again, right? Ha!
We had tons of candy, compliments of my grandma. We sat and chatted for a few hours prior to the show, and had fun listening to the music and naming the tunes that they were playing. The Elders passed around a few bags of glow sticks and we were the lucky recipients of quite a few! We had a fun time taking pictures and posing with the glow sticks. It made for a fun event.
The fireworks were a lot of fun and they're timed with the orchestra just right. The finale was one of the better ones I've ever seen! After the last fireworks went off we hauled quick to try and get out, but it took us over an hour to get home. We had a fun time turning up the tunes in Riley's car, rolled down the windows, and jammed out to hits such as theme music from Tarzan, Savage Garden, and the Pokemon Theme Song (Compliments of Jordan and Riley...)
