STADIUM OF FIRE!!!

Today, as you all may know, was the fourth of July!!! And I have a fourth of July miracle for all of you! Ok so usually every year me and my relatives get together and have a barbecue and set off fireworks and do all kinds of stuff but this year it was just my immediate family at my grandparents house for dinner with no fireworks. It was still nice to be there with my wonderful family and amazing grandparents but I just wish I could have more! So me and my mom left the dinner early to go visit my other grandpa. After that we decided, since we were already in Provo, we might as well go drive around the stadium to see if we can see or hear anything. So we got there and this guy was directing us into this parking lot that was right up next to the stadium doors so we were like, ooookkkk.... So we got in the lot and then parked the car and decided to get out and walk around a little. And then....we saw the ticket booth. Just sitting there, starring us down. So we went over there, expecting them not to have any tickets left or at least really expensive ones. So we get up there and the lady was like, yeah we got tickets. And so my mom was like, should we do it?? And I said, sensing she was have second thought, what if I pay for my ticket? That confirmed it, we were going to the Stadium of Fire!!! So we go in and they have these awesome dancers and then the BLUE MAN GROUP came on stage!!! They are SO COOL!!! They did this cool tube thing and then they taught how to have a good rock show. First we had to bob our heads, and then pump our hands, then wave our hands in the are, and then RAISE THE ROOF!!! It was awesome. Then Miley Cyrus performed live! Now, I'm not really a Miley fan but I had never been to a live concert before and it was pretty dang awesome! I stood up and rocked out and screamed and stuff. She performed like eight songs and then the Blue Man Group came on again. They got these drums with paint on them and they were beating them and the paint blue up, red, white, and blue. And then paint started pouring out of their shirts from some tube thing. And then, the big finally, the fireworks!!! They were so big and beautiful! Ah!!! It was SO MUCH FUN!!! It was really a lifetime experience and I am so grateful I was able to do it! Me and my mom have never been so spontaneous! I am so proud of us! I am putting my ticket in my journal tonight!!! Yay! Happy 4th of July!!! God Bless America!
