Drag Races/ 4th of July

So Tired. This was at the drag races

She didnt make it through the whole thing, but slept through the twin jet engines

Well, its been a great week so far. Friday night we went to the drag races. It was loads of fun. Adam had never been. and he got to see a few monster trucks race too! My family is really big on monster trucks...well at least my Aunt and Cousin are. But any ways. The drag races were a lot of fun. I had never been to ones with such loud engines. They had one that had the twin jet engines. It was crazy to me. That they could put Jet engines on a car...WOW!

The next day was fun as well. We went to Taylorsville Dayzz. Its a carnival that our town likes to have, the weekend before 4th of July. It was a lot of fun, but really hot. Its funny, I used to live in california. and there, it wasnt hot until it was 100+ degrees. Here in Utah, 90 degrees and it is so hot. So we walked around and met up with friends. After awhile, it was just too hot. So we went swimming. We spent the rest of the day playing and relaxing in the pool. Fun day.

The rest of the week went by uneventful. We did laundry, grocery shopping, and work.
Yesterday was 4th of July. We started out, not planning to do anything. We ended up going to a street fair and walking around. Then we went to the mall and Rocquelle and Adam played in the outside fountains. We came home and got cleaned up. The big fireworks show here is at Sugarhouse park. I didnt think it would be that packed at 7 pm, when the show was at 10, but boy was I wrong. What got me the most is people were paying 10 dollars for parking. Thats a lot of  money to us right now. We try and find the cheap stuff, or free! So to pay $10 was just too much. We drove around for 20 minutes trying to find parking, finally we found some, but by the time we did, Rocquelle was sleeping, and the park was getting more and more packed. Okay, so I said the fireworks started at 10. Well online it said they started at 9. So we sat down on our blanket and waited...and waited...and waited. 9 pm, 9:20, 9:45, and finally at 10:10 the first firework shot up in the air. and from that moment on, not one person did anything else but watch the fireworks. It was seriously dead silent. Now with at least 1000 people there, that to me is pretty crazy. So we watched the fireworks, had a great time. It was fun. Afterwards, however, was not so much fun

1000 people get pretty crazy when they are all trying to get to their cars. People were crossing the street, holding up the cars. Not just a few people either. Hundreds crossing the street, while the cars had green lights. Then when it was our turn to cross, so many people crossed with us, that we were stuck in the middle of the road, just because there wasnt enough room on the sidewalk. Next year they maybe need to think about closing the road, because we almost got hit, and there wasn't anywhere for us to go. So we finally crossed the street, and at this point I was ramming people in ankles with the stroller, because if I didnt, we were never going to get through. Well we get to the car and load up, then spend another 20 min driving home. well we seriously live 5 minutes away so the fact that it took 20-30 min to get home made me frustrated. All in all, it was a fun week so far. I cant wait to see what this weekend holds. Thanks again for reading.
