Positively{+}Sunshine: FOURTH and FAITH

LET FREEDOM RING. Meet twin, bub-roosk// our own personal holiday cheer-mister.

JULY 4, Easily one of my favorite days of the year. Although I am one to say, that every holiday is my favorite...the fourth really is top ranked. Growing up, I spent all of my "Fourth's" in Provo. I think that Fourth of July in Provo, is a major reason why I have such fond feelings for it(both the holiday and the place). :] There is just such a patriotic aura about Provo during the week of the fourth- everything that happens, and every hour of that week are spent comemorating our beautiful and unique country. Preparations in Provo begin early, and the finished product really is magic. Since we couldn't be in Provo this year for the fourth, we decided to make a just as magical Fourth of July, VEGAS STYLE!

We started our holiday off the night before, with a sleepover at auntie's house. We ate, swam, and watched a movie until...too late. We met parents at the Summerlin parade the next morning, and boy was I stoked. PARADES ARE MY FAVORITE. Yes. Lucky for me, my family sat right behind the little old lady with my same EXACT outift on. Yes, It made me die of laughter. Yes, i deserved it. My mom said to me before I bought it that it kind of looked like a grandma shirt...MORAL OF THE STORY:

1. Listen to Momma.
2. That's What you get for shoppin at Walmarto.
She went by the name of TWIN for the rest of the parade.

After the Parade we headed home for some breaky/lunch-ish. I guess we call that brunch. Anyhow, it was awesome. Grandma's secret recipie buttermilk waffles, ( with red, white, and blue toppings ;]) and we were all happy campers. We went shopping and swimming, and ate. and cooked. And ate. Later in the afternoon, my family had the opportunity to go and see the movie 17 MIRACLES, that is showing here in Vegas for a limited time. I had heard awesome things about it, and was so beyond excited. It was the perfect thing to do on Independence day. Never have I watched a movie that taught me so much, and made me feel so much. It depicted the stories of incredible faith in the Lord, and the miracles wrought by the Lord. I think the theatre cleaners wondered what in the world was going on, as they walked into a quiet theatre, filled with the spirit, as teary LDS families exited the room. It is a must see.

We finished our night off with watching fireworks,up at CHS. It was the most awesome view of the valley, as you could see fireworks exploding up all over the city.
