Because the 4th of July was on a Sunday this year, the city of Idaho Falls celebrated with their Maleluca Fireworks show on Saturday, the 3rd of July. To our dismay, Deven had gotten called in to work so he wouldn't be able to join me until about 10pm. (Luckily this is the time the fireworks show started on the Green Belt in I.F.).
My cousin Haley called a couple days prior and invited me to join her nick and the Terry clan to celebrate...I was so excited! I love the Terry's!! Such a fun bunch:) I headed over to Brent and Joyce's to hang out prior to a family BBQ (which was AMAZING), before heading to the BBQ, we drove over to Bonneville HS for car races!! So fun to watch! The guys loved it. I wasn't sure what to expect seeing how I've only been to car races once before, but wow...it was crazy fun! There were random cars racing, not necessarily the kind you would expect to see whipping around cones and making sharp turns. Amongst the cars, I remember seeing...a Mazda Miada, Prius, Corvette, a few Mustangs, an old VW, and a bunch more. (Sorry, I'm not big on cars so I can't remember the models).
Firework show was THE BIGGEST I have EVER seen! SOO beautiful! There were thousands of people that come from all around. Even from different STATES! WHOA BABY! We got pretty lucky in our search for a "plot of land" (heehee) to watch the show. We ended up DIRECTLY across the river from where the fireworks were lit!! Couldn't get any better than that right?
Deven showed up just as the show started and we had a really great time. Little did I know...he had to run about 2 miles to get to where myself and the Terry's were seated. (No Parking). We weren't sure how Porter would handle the loud noise, luckily he LOVED IT! The expression on his face was unexplainable. I guess it was a mixture of shock, surprise and awe. Then 10 minutes before the 31 minute show ended....he fell ASLEEP! REALLY?!
....They say babies can sleep through anything right? I wasn't aware that it included Fireworks.
