It was awesome. I love Freedom Festival. For one weekend Provo is in the spotlight and there are so many convivial things to do. On the actual day of the Fourth I went to grandma Marilyn's because my FAMILY WAS IN TOWN! YAY FOR FAMILY! We had yummy food and went to the park and did all kinds of fun stuff, but none of that really matters because the important thing is... WE WENT TO SEE THE JONAS BROTHERS AT STADIUM OF FIRE!!! It was prodigious. Colossal. Huge. Jace would say Epic. Linds would say Legit (I am a Junior in college so i used better words...) Because i grew up in the 90's I think that my love for boy bands is perennial. Stefanya and I took all my little cousins..(Linds, Abs, Sara, Em, Sam, and Morgan). The day before the concert we made these SWEET Jo Bro T-Shirts (see picture at bottom of blog for more information). Mine says "Jo Bro Hoe" Thank you to Stephanie Alexandra White for that one. SHE MADE ME ; D Together we made quite the little fashion statement. Especially since Tia Tara gave us a huge box of glow sticks to use. We loved every minute of it. No matter what Abbey tries to tell you about Joe...NICK IS THE CUTE ONE. I am so thankful for this country. If you have never watched fireworks to the tune of patriotic music you should do so. It is really quite emotional.
Next I went to a Harmer family reunion up at Brighton for a weekend. We played games to get to know our family members better and did what Harmers do best - eat, sleep, and fight : D Actually there was very little of the later and we were pretty active so it was a success. We hiked up the mountain to Lake Katherine and floated the Provo River. GOOD TIMES. I love my Utah family. What would i do without them? I would probably not be here in Provo i can tell you that. Aren't they SO SO SO CUTE? We are getting pretty large in numbers eh?
Steph has been begging to come to Royal City for quite some time. I tried to warn the poor city girl about the size but she stood firm in her conviction. FINALLY this past week we made the trip. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. Steph had this wishlist of things she wanted to accomplish so we were pretty adventurous. Let me tell you so of the things we did...
* Shot some Skeets with a freaking 12 gauge - my arm even bruised from the stupid kick.
*Milked a cow
*Helped birth a calf - OK, so we witnessed the birth of a calf, but our cheering TOTALLY helped ; D
*Drove a tractor
*Bailed Hay
*Flew a plane - IT STALLED AND FREAKING FELL THROUGH THE SKY. Can you say adrenelin rush?
*Rode a float in the local Community Days Parade
- we made the front page of the Columbia Basin Herold AND we were quoted in the article about Summerfest because some
nice lady interview us about the giant cake we were asked to serve. It was in the shape of Grant County to comemerate the
100th birthday.
*Went boating - i am still soar. NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE.
* Made raspberry jam - WHICH WAS DELICIOUS if I might say so myself
* We also made authentic Mexican food. SHOUT OUT TO THE AMAZING AURORA AND HER ADORABLE FAMILY!
*jumped on the trampoline and watched a movie EVERY night
GOOD TRIP!!!
