Happy 4th of July!!! I always miss good ole, Riverton on the 4th of July. Riverton always has a a carnival and a great fire work show on the fourth and it's easily one of the events I miss most over summers. I was actually visiting home over the fourth last summer so I went with my friend, Avi. Avi and I have been friends since middle school and always spend the fourth together at the Riverton carnival. I had so much fun eating funnel cake with her and her friendly family last year, but once the fireworks started, it just wasn't the same without my sweetie!
This year I'll be spending the fourth with my hubby in Fairfax with the rest of the office. Kory has a long day of work today since most people have the day off from work and will be home to buy alarms. He usually has an office meeting at noon and then goes out to his area and comes home around ten, but today he went out at 9am and they plan to meet us at Fairfax High School for fireworks tonight. I'm so excited for the firework show!! I just love to cuddle up on a blankets and watch the sky light up!
The boys planned a little pre-firework show for the girls last night! I love surprises so I was thrilled when Kory texted to say he had something planned for me last night. Most of the other couples didn't end up watching fireworks with us since their kids were in bed by the time the guys got home, but we walked down to the pond with Jake, Katie, Mitch, and his little boy Vance for the show. We watched the tent-bought fireworks on the basketball court next to this little pond by our apartments.
My favorite part was actually the walk down to the court. The path is covered in huge trees and bushes, and the trees were filled with twinkling lighting bugs!! Their little butts really lit up the trees making it look like stars! We don't have those in Utah, so we were all loving the magical little bugs.
(okay so I just stole this off the internet to give you an idea of what it looked like, next time I'm bringing my camera)
