My Marathon Man

We had a great 4th, 23rd and 24th of July. On the fourth of July we hung with family and had a good time. That evening Will and I watched the fireworks from Bountiful Blvd. It was a nice view of the fireworks and of the valley.
For the 23rd we went to the Bountiful Park for the carnival. I love it every yr. Even though I'm to old for the rides I have a great time at the fish pond, eating Brigham bread and watching my nieces and nephews have fun. After spending the afternoon there we went to watch the parade. It was nice but this year it lasted forever! Will had to go home after to get some rest for the marathon but I was able to party till late and watch the Mueller Park fireworks with my good friends Maren and Alden and her family. We were right up close so the fireworks looked huge! At one point a firework blew up on the ground- that was cool! I swear I felt heat from it where we were sitting. It was a great show.
On the 24th Will ran a 26 mile marathon that went from East Canyon to Liberty Park. Wow, I am so amazed with my wonderful husband. I couldn't do more then one mile let alone 26! I'm so proud! He finished in good time and got a cool medal for finishing. The rest of the day was spent mostly relaxing. We watch fireworks up at my sister Andrea's house and that's always fun. So, over all we had a great but busy holiday.
