Eric and I went to Utah for 4th of July weekend. We left on Friday after work and came back on Monday. The visit went WAY too fast!
We chose this weekend so we could go to STADIUM OF FIRE. It was my second year going and Eric's 8th, 10th, 15th time going? That's what you get for growing up in Utah, I suppose.
The fam before the show started!
Holly and Phil. So cute. Mark and Lauren were also there but they came a little later so I didn't snatch a photo of them.
At the beginning of the show parachuters launched down to the field. I thought this one got lost or landed in the middle of nowhere, but he was just saving the best for last (flag and all)!
The little dancers made some awesome shapes.
The opening act was David Archuleta. He did about 5 songs and I knew almost all of them. David is great to hear live. You don't get that far on American Idol without having some real talent.
And for the main attraction...Brad Paisley. Can I just say AMAZING?! Brad is such an entertaining performer. His lyrics are hilarious and his electric guitar playing is out of this world. If only I could play that well!! Eric and I loved watching him and listening to his songs.
After watching Brad perform we watched some fireworks. They weren't the greatest this year because the music was pretty lame. But I'm not all that big into fireworks anyway.
I was waiting for this photo opp for the longest time. Eric and I saw the outline of the Statue of Liberty but I thought they would do it at the beginning of Stadium of Fire. Nope! The dancers ended up forming this shape during a patriotic song when the fireworks went off.
I think I get a little more patriotic every year. I've never really had great 4th of Julys growing up, so it's nice to have Eric to share these fun times with. Thanks to his parents for taking us! This was probably my favorite 4th of July ever, and not just because of Stadium of Fire. More to come on the next post...dun dun dun!

What a great photo of the parachuter with the flag. You are a pro photographer!!! We loved having you visit. It was way too short.
Well I wish I would've known you were in town for the weekend so I could've seen you and given you a hug! I haven't seen you in forever!
yay! for finding new blog friends :)
I'm soooo jealous of your brad paisley show! I'm seriously green with envy. He's my fave country singer, hands down.
I'm the same way about 4th of July...it seems I get a little more patriotic every year. Having your own little family to spend holidays with seems to do that to a girl :)
