If you know anything about me (and Lisa Watkins) you know I love the good old USA. I love fireworks, rodeos, parades and hot dog eating contests. (Seriously though did you see that guy in NY that ate 68 hot dogs in 10 min... totally impressed). I think we are so blessed to have the freedoms that we have. So in turn, I love anything that celebrates the red, white and blue.
I'm not going to lie, I get a little teary when I hear lyrics like:
"Only in America... where they dream in red, white and blue.
Only in America... where we dream as big as we want to."
or the ever popular...
"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
Ain't no doubt I love this land... God Bless the USA"
and for our Neil Diamond fans...
"We're comin to America.
Today... My country tis of thee... Today... Sweet land of liberty."
and for all you country lovers...
"Yes there's a lady that stands in a harbor for what we believe.
And there's a bell that still echoes the price that it cost to be free."
(Ok, but seriously, when I was in Philly at the Liberty Bell this is the only thing I could think about and I couldn't stop crying).
Anyway. So we had a fun filled patriotic weekend. Started with Logan fireworks and ended with the Cache Valley Cruise-In. Nothing says USA like old cars... especially since foreign cars are taking over.
The best part about it though is my parents and I did it all on our scooters... yeah the three amigos were three happy chappys. We didn't drive a car once all weekend. Farmers market, shopping, fireworks, cruise-in. Nothing could hold us back, not even when my dad bought 6 pairs of shoes. I'm totally obsessed with the scoots. Seriously was one of the funniest (and funnest) weekends ever. 
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly.

I am so jealous. Because of budgets, the fireworks here only went off about every 5 seconds....no lie, for 40 minutes....the most boring display I had ever seen! I have not seen a good derby or rodeo since I moved here and I am feeling highly deprived. If I get a scoot, can I join your fam on an evening in the future?
I love you guys, you always have the best time!
That is so awesome!! I love it! I just love the "scoots" too! You guys are so cool! I am a wannabee "scoot" fan!! ; )
Did you know I can fit 5 large Jamba Juice's under the seat of my scooter...and, one diet coke between my feet. Beat that!
I love you three! Sounds like you guys had a blast, Your dad bought 6pair of shoes? Really? I thought I was bad. Im not going to lie we went to the wj stampede and the song "We're comin to America.
Today... My country tis of thee... Today... Sweet land of liberty." I got teary! haha
I know exactly why Dad bought six pairs of shoes. They were a good deal, right? That's how we got the first "scoot" in the first place... the man cannot pass up a deal.
