4th of July Fun

The fourth of July is always fun in Utah!:) I was so happy my sister and her family came to celebrate with us this year again! Here are some of the highlights from that week.

We started of with "Grassy Hill of Fire!!!" My dad didn't come up this year and spoil us with the prime "Stadium" tickets... so we were on the hill just outside... It was still amazing! The fireworks were right above our heads and were spectacular!:) We didn't even need our safety goggles this year!:D






This is a really ugly picture... but I had to document that I actually ran a 10K!!! I used to look at the people who got up early to run in something like that and just think... 'I would never do that! You'd have to be crazy to!' haha I've arrived!:) I did ok for my first run ever! My time was 54:53. I placed 42/132 in my division...176/607 in gender.. So my pace was like 8:51/M. I wish I had ran it before, because at the end I thought I had much longer to go than I did and so I would have pushed myself more. I loved it though and want to do one again soon! My claim to fame...I was running behind Steve Young and totally passed him and beat him!:) HAHA


And of course we can't forget the Provo Parade!!! As always started out at the condo and walk down to Lund Optical to enjoy Monroe's Family and the Lund party & goods!!! You can't beat that!:)
