Jonno and Nancy at the CARRIE UNDERWOOD concert!
Independence Day fell on a Sunday this year so we celebrated it on the Saturday before. It was a great day! We started out with the annual breakfast and parade at my family's cabin at Brighton.
Every year after breakfast, we go take family pictures on this humungo rock.
So, behold, the annual family picture on the big rock!
After the rock, we always rock, I mean, walk the trail around Silver Lake.
Jonathon found this stick and called it his "1820's revolver" and carried it the rest of the way.
Here he is shooting me with it.
Annnddd here we are happy that I didn't die with the shot of that almighty revolver!
Sisterly love.
My mom is always so festive. She loves holidays! Here she is with her great 4th of July outfit.
Jonathon captured this picture of my mom leaping off a rock. I thought it was awesome!
Great picture, Jonno!
Here we are in front of Silver Lake. Notice the revolver- again. Haha! :)
Me and my cute lil Grandma Richards.
We had a lot of fun at Brighton. It's always a fun event we look forward to.
This year we also did something we haven't experienced together before and attended the Stadium of Fire! It was SO COOL!!!! We LOVED it!
My most favorite singer in the world was the headliner performer: Carrie Underwood.
And the fireworks show was fantastic.
Here are some pictures:
These four jets flew over the stadium for the opening ceremonies.
They were really loud. And freakin' awesome.
The Stadium of Fire dancers. Pretty cool!
We also got to be a part of the largest Eagle Court of Honor in HISTORY.
Over 150 eagle scouts were awarded at the event. They asked all Eagle Scouts who were in the crowd to stand and hold this Boy Scout Eagle sign.
Our very own Jonathon got to stand with them- I'm so proud that I have an Eagle Scout for a husband. That really is a wonderful achievement!
And....there she is- THE Carrie Underwood!! Such a powerful voice and presence.
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Me and Carrie :D Can you tell how excited I was to be there??
Fireworks:
My camera wasn't able to get the full effect of how cool these fireworks were. Hands down one of the best fireworks shows I've ever seen.
I especially loved that they played patriotic music in the background that matched the show. It even made me cry a couple times.
Jonno and me very satisfied after the show.
Here is a video of the night. Sorry it's kinda choppy.
A glimpse of Carrie!
So what do you think? Did I enjoy it or what?? Heh.
Happy Independence Day!!

Thank you for joining me to be with family. Had fun.
You two are cute. Maybe some day when I'm down in Utah we could go on a doubly date. Also, we were outside of the stadium watching the fireworks...what was with the big pause in the middle?
