The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. What's not to love? BBQs, fireworks, parades...freedom. Just to name a few. I often feel just a twinge of homesickness for my hometown celebrations. Nobody does the Fourth like Fillmore. But...my family doesn't live there anymore, so we don't make the trip down. Taylor and I hosted a family BBQ and then turned our backyard into an outdoor theater for the neighborhood. We actually had pretty great seats to catch the Stadium of Fire fireworks, too. Whenever I say the words, Stadium of Fire, I have to resist the urge to belt it out Donny Osmond style, "Sta-DI-um of Fiiire!"
We didn't do our own fireworks this year since I felt a little guilty about the entire state of Utah burning down and so much dry grass around our place, I figured we'll just do an extra great show next year.
