I spent the 24th in my hospital room daydreaming about being with my family. We always have such a blast on this holiday. This year was no different than the others...well...except for my absence=( I had wonderful plans for the 24th but those quickly went down the drain, however, there will always be a next year and despite my situation I still love the 24th of July! Especially in Spanish Fork. I love hearing and seeing the fireworks each night, all week long. I love the barbecues. I love all the great events that go on in good ol' Spanish Fark. I love seeing porches, windows, and doors decorated with America's flag and patriotic colors. I love the weather and.... I love the easy-going, go-with-the-flow attitude it gives off (can't say that about the other major holidays oh, and did I mention this holiday doesn't burn a hole in your wallet like the others, can't beat that!)
Here are just some of the fun events that take place in Spanish Fork:
Flag Ceremony
Carnival
Rodeo
Speedy Spaniard 10k
Parade
Fireworks
The kids enjoying the Spanish Fork Parade.
The Rodeo
These two can't keep from wrestling
The last couple of years Teni and Troy have gone to the Spanish Fork Rodeo which they've enjoyed very much. To make things more exciting this year Teni entered the Muttin Bustin Contest. It was his first time and he was so excited. It was part of the rodeo's pre-show program. He didn't stay on the sheep very long (most kids don't) but he still had a lot of fun and it was great to watch(says Troy). Teni will try muttin bustin again next year in hopes to ride it out a little longer! What a fun contest.
Getting ready to Muttin Bust
Teni and Taren pumping each other up right before the contest....Taren did so well that he actually took first place. Way to go Taren!
Teni was such a good sport. He lasted all but 2 seconds but he didn't care. He got right back up and brushed himself then headed back to the stands to enjoy the rest of the rodeo.
