The Stadium of Fire this yearhad Carrie Underwood Headlining.
It also had The 15 year old and I in it!
The 15 year old was in the biggest Eagle Scout Court of Honor ever held.
The Governor was there and the Head of Scouting was there.
I even shook Lou Diamond Phillips hand. I also shook the hand of the oldest living Eagle Scout and also LaVell Edwards hand.. There was quite a crowd! 50,000 to be exact!
My cousin John Houston played in the Eric Dodge band that performed as the opening act! They were Great!
My sweetie was in charge of the camera due to the fact that I could not carry one..We also had to be where he could not be.. so no pictures of the eagle scout thing!
The best Surprise was that my sweetie's cousin JS and her son KS was also doing the Eagle Scout thing!!! What a life saver!!! We had a Great time!!!!
As you can see , my in laws and our Daughter CF and her Husband DF also came to see the 15 year old and myself be in the program...
One of the neat things that they had was an Eagle's Nest for the court of Honor.
They had every Eagle scout in the audience stand and hold a paper with the Eagle Scout emblem !!! it was quite stunning to see all the eagle scouts that were there!!!! It was amazing!!
We were also able to spend time with our oldest son and his wife in the morning before we drove to Provo from Draper. It was Great to see them!!
The next day we woke early and made it back in time to eat with My Brother and Sister's Families for Dinner!!! It was Great to see them too!
We had not seen our Brother since January when Mom died...So it made it extra special!
The following day the 15 year old was in the Town parade again wearing the Scout uniform carrying a banner in front of the National Guard entry..
that Evening we had a BBQ with our across the street neighbors and then family and neighbors came to light of ton's of fireworks and see the city ones.. it is always a "BLAST" HA HA
We had a Great time.. The only thing better would have been seeing our Oldest Daughter and our Grandson and Christian!! (YOU WERE MISSED!!!)
I love the 4th of JULY!!! Ü

Congratulations on the Eagle thing. I would really liked to have seen that one. In the years our sons were earning the rank of Eagle we attended more than a dozen Eagle Courts but none to compare with the event you had on the 4th. Really sounds great. You will soon learn that many doors are opened for young men that complete that long trek to Eagle. As you learned there were many Eagles in the audience and several of them were owners and managers of businesses through out industry. Be proud of the award and wear your pins with honor. What you have learned will serve you well through out your life.
