4TH OF JULY!!


This 4Th of July we were invited to a huge private party out in Tooele hosted by a family friend Karl Smith.We went two years ago and the boys loved it, so we decided to go again. He owns a museum out there with all these WWII jeeps, trucks, motorcycles, etc... It is pretty awesome! He probably invites around 1000 people, you have to have a invite and your name on a list to get in.Scott and Kim, Lynn and Jeannie, Rachiele and Corey, and Carlson and Elle were all there. He has it catered by Goodwood BBQ, ribs, chicken, beans, potato salad, brownies, cookies, drinks and it is all free!! This year he had a guy who rides a buffalo come who has trained it to sit, and lay down. He also has it run threw a ring of fire. That was pretty cool, the kids weren't too impressed they thought it would jump threw the ring of fire, i was like this thing weighs 3000 pounds!! Apparently this is the buffalo that is on the new nickel that just came out, so that was cool. Then we had to wait around for a couple of hours until it got dark enough for the fire work show. He puts on an awesome show, this year it was supposed to go 71 minutes! we timed it it only went about an hour, i am sure whoever was in charge of the remote just got trigger happy!! We were so close to where they set them off, i was really worried we would get hit by one, a couple of those huge ones set off on the ground, if they had fallen over we would have been the target, so that part was scary to me! It was a nice night, and fun not having to worry about anything, everything was taken care of for us, so we just sat there and relaxed and enjoyed ourselves! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!! /by the way, the extra boy in all the pictures is a friend of Josh's.
