Orem Summerfest

Last weekend was Summerfest in Orem UT.  It's part carnival, art show, car show,
music performances, baby contest, 5k, parade, all leading up to
an epic firework show.     

This is one of my most favorite parts of Summer.  I look forward to it each year.  

Actually, the firework show is my favorites, even, 

in my crazy opinion, besting 4th of July's Stadium of Fire.

(It's free, and the parking isn't insane!)

There was a chance the firework show wasn't going to work out this year.

It was supper windy, crazy windy, and cold.  Thankfully my Dad was Volunteering 

with his Ham radio group, and my brother and I were getting up to date information

on what was happening with the show.  The winds were suppose to calm down around

ten, so they were going to shoot a couple off to see where they go.  Thankfully those

running the show decided to go for it.

(I think these look like palm trees).  The whole show was epic.  4 or 5 of the fireworks

exploded on the ground.  That was honestly really cool. 

My brother Steven.  We shared a funnel cake (my first, as sad

as that sounds) and it was hard not getting the 

powdered sugar everywhere.  (Did I mention

how windy it was?)  It was quite a mess!

Doing the good ol' "taking a picture of myself" pose.  

Proof of how cold I was!  You

wouldn't think it was June.

Have a great day!!
