4th Of July

For the holiday, I wanted to get the kids up early and watch the hot air balloon lift.  It's really cool to watch 30 hot air balloon fill and take off...but sadly the weather wasn't as permitting.  A storm rolled through and cancelled the lift.  We still made it to the Provo Parade.  It was super busy...more so then when I was a student here.  But the kids still enjoyed it.

Funny thing, when looking for a parking spot for the parade we paid $5 and it was our old apartment.  Brought back old memories.

AFTER the parade, we took off for the weekend...

It's just over a 3 hour drive, and wasn't bad at all.  Moab has so many parks, Arches, Canyonlands and state parks...so much to choose from.  So much to explore, we knew we'd be good choosing anything.  We found a condo for a great deal and brought our own food.  So gas and lodging was our only expense.  A great vacation.

After getting settled into the condo, we took off to Dead Horse Point to watch the sunset...Oh so amazing!
Other side of the look out...the Colorado River is spectacular!!
Kids loved all the climbing that was available...

After a bit, we headed back to town to watch the fireworks

  
Happy 4th of July.  Such pride to be apart of this great nation.
