So remember how we just flew in from Guatemala yesterday and now we're are getting on another plane to Utah today. I must have been crazy to book those flights.
Today is Nathan's sister Andrea's birthday. We celebrated it by going bowling and eating lots of food. Nathan won both games and I came in second, pretty much, we ROCK!
The next morning we got up early to watch the balloons launch in Provo. The kids love seeing it . Later that night we went to the Orem Owls game with the whole family. Too bad they lost. But there were fireworks afterward so it wasn't a complete bust.
We celebrated the 4th by running in the Freedom run. It is a 10k, 5k and mile race. You run along the parade route in Provo. It's pretty fun, except the part that I wanted to die when I was finished. I think there were 15 of us that participated this year. (Some didn't want to be photographed.) My dad is running for state house of representatives, so we all wore his shirt.
After the run we enjoyed the parade, which is like every other parade on the fourth. We later went to the park and had our traditional BBQ. It was fun to see my cousins. the 4th has always been a big deal in our family, so there were alot of us that were there from all over the west.
Nate and I went with his family to the Stadium of Fire. It was fun as usual. Miley Cirus and the Blueman Group were the performers this year. The fireworks are unbeatable.
On Saturday so of the family rode their bikes up the canyon to Bridal Veil Falls. Mom and I drove.
Daph, Bryce, and Madison are in the lead. Then Tom, Dad and Nate brought up the rear.
Maddi and Bryce are climbing up the waterfall. (Both in red, Maddi near the top of pic and Bryce right in the middle.)

In the afternoon Nate and I went to Park City with his mom and crew. We had to by Nate some doctor looking outfits for his rotations. Then we went to Wall-e. It was a pretty cute show. Sunday morning we woke up and flew home. honestly have never been so worn out in my life. It is great to just be able to relax after so much travel. To bad for Nate that he started his rotations at 5:00 am on Monday.
