July 4th

We started the festivities on the 2nd with a patriotic pedicure and the fireworks. Then after church on the 3rd Gary, Cameron, Heather, Jake, Alice, Laura and I all camped out on the street in Provo, so we would have front row seats for the parade. We got our spot at 3pm and started the party-barbequing, playing cards, playing made up games such as- pick your car as it drives by - and people watching. There were tons of people to watch. Bike groups, scooter  groups, motorcycle groups, ice cream trucks and cops entertained us on University avenue all night. A dance started across the stree at Muse Music at midnight. It was so hot we took turns going home to shower.  Heather joined the 5K race in the morning-the rest of us ate bagels and one doughnut (Jake). The parade was the least fun part! Afterwards we had the traditional KFC lunch at Grandma and Grandpa Cramer's house. Then we all went home for a big nap!
