July 4 2012 extraveganza

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday of the year easily and from the pictures below you can tell why. Early in the morning we went to the Murray Parade. It was really fun to be with family and just spend time together. After we took our Pass of All Passes and put them to use by going to Seven Peaks in Salt Lake City. Shaileen got a little too much sun and is regretting it today big time. :) Later that night we went back up to the spot we went to last year to watch fireworks that is right above the Utah State Capitol. There were more people there this year but was soooo much fun and no stress of being around too many people at regular fireworks. Plus, we saw thousands of fireworks where others didn't even see close to that many. This is our new tradition I think. Last year I took some fun photographs of the fireworks but this year I took a time lapse  so check out the video below to get a glimpse of what we saw.

PS. only 26 more days!!!

Our view of the fireworks before it was too dark!

Fun at Trafalga

Yesterday after work we were watching Carlye because Scott and Cindy were going to a dinner for her work! We went to Carlye's softball game! Since Scott was gone I was coaching. It was a real fun experience and nice because one day when we have kids I am definately going to be coaching one day by myself in the future! Later, after softball, we drove down to Orem to go to Trafalga again. It is so much fun and even better because we bought the pass of all passes and it's included in it. We did batting cages as well as mini golf in the dark outside. We had a blast. After playing in the arcade for a while we got our prizes and got these little mustaches! They were fun to wear around and just be silly! On the way home Shaileen and I were jamming out to some music and we turned around and Carlye was passed out! It was a very eventful day as you can tell from the pictures below!

Real Salt Lake

Last night we went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game! The best part about it is it was included in the pass of all passes card that we got! We had a great time even though we don't know the rules for soccer at all! Haha If you have never heard of the pass of all passes definitely check it out cause its a great deal! It's nice to be able to go out to activities like this cause it feels lie we are not even spending money cause it's on the season pass
