4th of July

We decided to take the kids to Stadium of Fire this year. It is at the BYU stadium. My kids found out that the Jonas Brothers were performing and all 3 of them love them. Since we weren't going on vacation or anything we decided to take them.

They always have what they call the stadium of fire dancers. It is a bunch of dance groups from around the state that perform together. These girls and guys on the stage were very good.

The mlitary always flies over. This year they had the F16's like they usually do. They were too fast to capture. Later in the show they also had military helicopter's fly over.

My 2 boys don't get into the dancing and the fun of the concerts. Joslyn was loving it. She was clapping at the end of songs and she let me dance with her. My oldest was a little embarassed by us.

Although he did sing the songs. When the Jonas Brother's first came on our little girl just sat there and stared for a minute. She was in awe that she could see them. I wish we would have had a little better seats, even the cheap seats cost a lot. These were the best pictures we could get with our zoom lense on our camera.

In between the concert and before they started the fireworks, they retired the huge flag that has been hanging in the stadium for a long time. They had the 388th division from Hill Air Force Base help with it. They just barely returned home 2 weeks ago. It was a very neat experience for my kids to witness the retiring of the flag. It was so big they had to put it into that big incinerator you can see and wrap it around more than once.

Then they had the usual fireworks show. It is always fun for the kids to see them. They are very loud and the stadium is usually covered in smoke by the time they are done.

It was a fun 4th of July with the family. It is fun when all of your kids can go and enjoy the fun things.
