The Westfest has been in my life since I can remember. Not that we ever went to it. It was always the place that you didn't want to be, because every scuzzy person in the world seemed to know it was going on and would come. They have tried really hard to clean it up and make it a classy event (I love the graffiti on the pole next to the sign-not much has changed :). I still wasn't so sure and didn't really want to go.
The boys saw it one day when we were playing at the park and were determined that we go. So I decided that it couldn't hurt to go for a short while. There was a guy in our ward that was singing and playing his guitar at it...so I thought we'd go support him (I didn't even know his name:).
We parked way far away and I think we were exhausted before we even got there.
When we got there low and behold one of my good friends from college, Kevin Jones, was there performing with his group. They are called "Eclipse" and are pretty popular around here. I guess I know a Utah celebrity.
The smell of cotton candy and cigarette smoke-why does it accompany everything fun? It reminds me of the State Fair, Lagoon, Disneyland etc.
We were going to let our kids ride three rides each...the lines were so long that they only got to ride this ride. Good thing they liked it!
This is Eclipse singing-no they didn't have bubbles coming down from the sky, my camera seems to do that some reason. I actually sat here the whole time and just listened to all of the entertainment. We all had a great time!
They had an amazing firework show. Hunter isn't sure what he thinks of them. Last year this was Lincoln (this year Lincoln did it a little too).
The firework show was really good and really long. We loved it.
They handed out 3-D glasses to everyone to watch the fireworks with. It was really cool-and who could pass up a photo op like this one, obviously not me!
For some reason they would't stay on Lincoln's head!
Wow-Nice huh?
Even Josh got into the spirit of things (okay I made him put them on to take a picture, but he was a good sport!!)

Looks like fun. How is everything going? Josh said we were going to go out...we are still waiting???
Hey, I ran into Kevin this weekend also... Wa-hoo for Home Depot projects! I'm glad to see he's still singing with Eclipse. I didn't have a chance to talk to him much! Looks like you guys had fun!
Oh my gosh Kevin! Did you get any contact information from him? Where is he these days. I miss that guy! We such close friends.
