Driggs 4th of July Celebration

Usually we go to Idaho Falls for our July 4th celebration. However, this year we didn't have any family come to spend it with us and mike had a concert for band in Driggs, Idaho so we had a change of plans. We decided to invite friends to come with us instead and it was so much fun. Our friend Lisa came with us and kept me company during the concert since mike was off with the band. The band was amazing! The setting next to the Teton Mountains was gorgeous and the company was wonderful!

Their was a fireworks show after the concert that was amazing. I feel like most of the time July 4th is just about 'who can blow the most crap up'. I felt like this performance really captured the spirit of the holiday and celebrated our country and our freedoms...the way this holiday was meant to be celebrated. The fireworks were timed to patriotic music, which the audience sang along too and their were pauses after every song when they played videos of veterans from Idaho who talked about why they love America. They showed pictures during the show of the different battles we have fought and talked about the pride and spirit of America. It was an amazing celebration! The entire day was wonderful! It was great to be with Mike and with friends. We had a great time!
