Let the Games Begin....

So, the Utah Summer Games Opening Ceremony was last night.. it's like the second biggest event to come to our little town (the first being the Shakespeare Festival) - people come from all over the State (and other places too probably) to compete in the Games. Last night was the official Opening Ceremony; the SUU stadium was filled with spectators watching the various acts / entertainment that had been scheduled... we however are too cheap to pay the $15 entry fee per person, so, like the rest of the town it seemed, we were camped out on the South side of the ball field, on a grassy area, visiting with friends and waiting for the fireworks to begin. We sat and waited for 2 hours, but wow, was it worth the wait!!!!! .... probably the best display of fireworks i have ever seen, and it lasted for at least 15 mins if not more. Owen really enjoyed himself although the finale kinda scared him because there were so many fireworks going off and we were right next to the 'launch' area so the bangs were really loud. So, with the Opening Ceremony officially over.... let the Games begin....
