The Fourth of July and the Stadium of Fire

Independence Day morning, everybody came to hang out at Peter's parents house.  Games were played, soccer world cup was watched, and food was eaten.


Taking a nap together in their red, white and blue!
I told Peter towards the beginning of the summer that I wanted to go to a concert because I'd never been to one before.  We both heard earlier during the week of the 4th of July that Carrie Underwood was coming to the Stadium of Fire--a yearly Independence Day celebration at BYU stadium, so we decided to get tickets.  I was so excited!  I love Carrie Underwood.

This celebration included all sorts of stuff. They had these cute little dancers from various dance companies dressed as cowgirls.

They had skydivers with various flags.

Trampoline acrobats dressed as superheros.  They were pretty awesome and got some crazy height!


And then there was the Carrie Underwood concert.  I knew almost every song she sang, and it was awesome!  We were pretty far away, so we couldn't really see her see her, but it was just cool to hear her sing her songs live.  She sounds just like she does on the CD! (which actually is saying something what with autotune and such)

I made this one bigger so you can look really close for her.

Of course, it wouldn't be a 4th of July celebration without some fireworks!



In the middle of the fireworks they had a song.  The dancers had been given glow sticks and were sitting on lines drawn on the grass so that they formed the Statue of Liberty!

Our 4th of July went out with a bang!
