4th of July weekend

My cutest friend Brianne and I

I LOVE the month of July for one reason & one reason only…. FIREWORKS!!!! Parades, rodeos & carnivals are fun BUT Fireworks are by far the best part. On Friday, our friends JJ & Bri were taking Bri’s little boy Connor to the Riverton carnival & invited us to come. I thought the Riverton fireworks were on Friday night, but it turns out they were not until Saturday night. We still had a lot of fun. I really wanted a stuffed animal, and Steve tried SO hard to win me one. Everyone we were with won a stuff animal except for Steve. For all the money we spent trying to win something, we could have just gone to Wal-Mart & spent half the money and bought a stuffed animal. I talked JJ, Steve & Richard into going on this (about ready to break down) ride. It looked way fun & not scary at all. OH WAS I WRONG. We sat in our seats and for some reason mine & JJ’s lap bars wouldn’t go down. So the creepy guy running the ride was like “hang on one minute.” He walks over to the machine that releases your lap bar, sticks his key in some hole and wiggles it. After a couple of wiggles, our lap bars came down. There should have been my first sign TO GET OFF THE RIDE, but I convinced these boys to ride it with me so I couldn’t ditch out now. So, the ride starts and it turns us upside down (I didn’t realize it went upside down) Well my lap bar was not tight on me at all, and my butt was lifting off the seat. I thought I was going to fall out, so I told Steve to hold onto my leg. Well being the nice boyfriend he isn’t he says “hell no, I am so scared I am not letting go.” So JJ leans over and is holding my legs down so I don’t fall out of the ride. FINALLY the ride was over, I didn’t fall out but I defiantly learned my lesson… NEVER RIDE CARNIVAL RIDES AGAIN!!!!

Saturday night, Steve and I were pretty tired and didn't feel like doing much. We ended up just going to Boston's with my parent's for dinner. We had never been there before, it was actually really good. We could see Davis, Layton's & Clearfield's fireworks from where we were sitting. We finished dinner & just went back to my house to do some of our own fireworks. My dad had some artillery shells that he had bought in Seattle a couple of years ago. So after we did out not worth $40 fireworks, we cleaned everything up so we could do one of his illegal one's and hurry inside in case the cops came.
