July 4th - Stadium of Fire

The infamous flag-burning

The Jonas Brothers!

Every year we look forward to the BIG jet flyover right at the start of the program. It is loud and the pilots talks to us LIVE right before they flyover the stadium.

A couple of the synchronized performances and fireworks right in the stadium, set to some great patriotic music. Bottom left: performed to "I'm Alive" by Celine Dion.

The Coxes had us over for a bbq right before the Stadium of Fire. Brother Cox dropped us off as close as he could get to the Stadium so we wouldn't have to walk.

It's become tradition for us to attend the Stadium of Fire (we've gone since 2003 and felt we missed a huge part of the July 4th festivities when we didn't go!). This year the featured group was the Jonas Brothers! Those kids didn't disappoint. They were great entertainers! I dare say there were 50,000 of the 65,000 audience screaming at one time. So much fun! A local group, SheDaisy came and performed too, and they were great. Glenn Beck was awesome, and the BIG synchronized group performances were so colorful. We enjoyed great fireworks (we thought last year's was better) and then walked home to our old house to pick up our cars, before heading back to our hotel at midnight. The traffic was crazy! We took for granted all those years we would walk back to our house and then spend the last hours of the night talking and setting off fireworks in our backyard. We are already looking forward to next year's Stadium of Fire. July 4th in Provo is the only way to go!
