holidays – Page 4 – See Jane Blog

is a local festival that coincides with the fourth of july, every year.

the festival honors four values…

family.
freedom.
god.
country.

i love the HUGE celebration for america.
the activities included in the festival are phenomenal.

there are traditions that melt my soul, every year.
my american heart beats and my eyes tear when the

three f-16’s fly over utah county for the stadium of fire.
i stand amazed when my body truly trembles from their power,
to me, it represents so much, so much bigger than me.

i love waking up and seeing the hot air balloon festival right above us.

it’s true. i love fireworks just as much as kids do. fireworks are one more great way to celebrate how much i love the US of A. i could go broke making trips to the fireworks stand. especially when i watch my little man spending hours in the driveway chasing parachutes. lighting smoke bombs. throwing pop-its.

on saturday evening we gathered with our neighborhood on a nearby hill, snuggled in blankets and watched the big fireworks from stadium of fire.

on sunday evening we did our family fireworks in front of our home with friends.

on monday afternoon we did daytime fireworks.
KJ had the coolest BIG parachute firework that sent 35 parachutes into the air!

the festivities were spread across three days…

and

happy 5th!

i have so many fun pictures/posts to share.

our memorial day included…

good friends + good food + sunshine.

it was perfect. while our loved ones who have passed on, were in our thoughts.

i used my new polaroid camera for the pictures, i’m still adjusting to the settings. anyone else struggling with the settings on this camera? it’s hard to waste the film when you gotta pay for it!
