Heber 4th of July



My home teacher and long time buddy invited me to a cabin trip in Heber. Turned out I knew several people going, even Camillia, whose family cabin we would be staying at. Her family also came and took good care of us. We had homemade ice cream and and all sorts of good eatins. The weather was perfect. In fact, the second night I slept outside in a tent in the rain. There's something sweet about hearing the pitter patter of rain tapping on the tent, love it!!! We first watched the fireworks in Showlow Friday night and then Saturday night in Heber. I thought it was odd that Heber was having their show on the 5th, but it was pretty cool to watch two shows in one weekend. I guess the party never stops in small towns! The fireworks in Showlow were better than I had anticipated. We got to watch them from the backyard of a cousin of one of the girls in our group. They were literally launching them in the field over her fence and since it's a chain link fence we saw everything, even the four fireworks that exploded on the ground, including the one that hit a school bus. It was pretty crazy! Heber's fireworks didn't last as long but they had some pretty neat ones and probably one of the biggest fireworks I had seen. Nearly filled the whole sky, it was ginormous! We had also ran into one of my old counselors and his wife from a singles ward I had attended. A few of us there were in that ward together. It was a nice reunion and I'm sad I didn't get a picture... I tend to miss a lot of good picture moments! Overall the cabin trip was a blast! We played games, hung out at the lake, enjoyed the fireworks, ate good food, kept cool, and enjoyed the company of good friends... all and all a good time!

Fireworks are a lot more enjoyable when you arent watching them in 110 degree weather that is for sure. It looks like you have really had a fun summer, good for you!!
