Freedom Fire 2014; Logan City Fireworks at USU

Growing up, I remember going to the Logan City fireworks every fourth of July. Technically they are usually on the 3rd... but either way, it's a tradition that I love! The last few years, since we have lived down south we have been attending the Stadium of Fire, so I was really excited to go to Cache Valley and celebrate at the best University in Utah!

 Nothing beats a holiday spent with family! <3

 

 And the fireworks began!...

 Madison loved them! She couldn't take her eyes off of them!

That is... couldn't take her eyes off them until she fell asleep in the middle of the show. (Seriously this blew my mind - it was so loud! She didn't mind.)

I seriously could never get sick of fireworks. I love watching them so much!

Well done Logan City. Another success taking place on the Utah State University field. ;)

Pumpkin Walk 2012

Monday I rode with Alisha and her girls up to Logan for the Cache Valley Pumpkin Walk as well as for Austin's birthday. Let's be honest, mainly Austin's birthday but the Pumpkin Walk was a bonus. We had so much fun playing in the leaves, decorating sugar cookies, going to the pumpkin walk, and celebrating Austin's birthday with gifts, cake, and ice cream.

We went to the Pumpkin Walk during the day because it was a downpour for a good part of the day. It would down pour and then stop, and then start, and then stop, almost in exact five minute intervals. It didn't ruin our good-time but sadly, it did ruin some of the scenes in the Pumpkin Walk. We saw lots of props blow over, backdrops fall down and things flying all over. Sad.

The theme of this year's Pumpkin Walk is "Let the Games Begin." So basically - games. It was so much fun to see how people took that theme, and the things or scenes that they came up with. Here are some pictures of this fabulous annual event.

This one was so detailed and went for so long. It was pretty awesome though. I have never read the books but it had lots of scenes from the movies that I recognized.

I just thought that the ducks were real cute in this one.

Such a great idea for kids!

I loved the way the 'snow' looks.
