Friday I slept in of course and then just hung around the house for the afternoon. I learned a new song on the guitar (which I totally stunk at, but it was fun). That evening I went out to dinner with some friends and then we came back and did fireworks. It was super fun! I lit my first firework ever! How sad is that? I am 20 years old and I have never lit a firework before, besides sparklers.
Saturday, otherwise known as the 4th, was eventful! A big group of friends from my ward went up to Rock Canyon Park and had a barbecue and slip and slide. It was super fun! The slip and slide started at the top of the hill and ended in a big pool of mud! Most of the people there wore their swimming suits but would not go down the slide. They were lame! But those who went down had so much fun! The only set back of this activity was the first time I went down. First some background information to the story...Brit and I are standing at the top of the hill with a couple of guys. Everyone else is at the bottom of the hill (like 10-15 people), being lame spectators instead of enjoying the fun. Brave Brit goes down first and loves it; then it is now my turn. I run and slide down on my belly...but before I hit the big pool of mud at the bottom I decide to turn around so that only my feet will get muddy...bad idea! I turn around and in the process my swimming suit comes part way off and I flash 10-15 spectators! It was so embarrassing!!! I eventually got over it though, put a shirt on over my suit and kept on sliding down. We tried all sorts of variations of going down the slide and had a blast! Then that night we went over by the stadium and watched the fireworks from the Stadium of Fire. It was a great 4th of July!
