I love July in Provo. I first went to the freedom festival when I was like 12 with my family and I still remember how much fun I had. We loved the "frontier days" the best as Jackson fell in love with the bagpipe band (clapping, cheering) and we even had a artist draw James and Jackson. Ha ha. James was so embarrassed and yes, the picture is definitely modern art. Freedom days was a lot of fun as we mostly just looked at all the booths. 
I got my hair "styled" (aka. braided) by the Paul Mitchell ladies and Jackson loved the free suckers. We tried 3 mornings to make it to the balloon festival, but we never made it out the door by 6:30 am! So, that's the only thing we missed out on. We watched Stadium of Fire fireworks outside late that night and Jackson didn't even cry! We had gone a double date (we set up Whitney Metcalf with Russ Cardon, and enjoyed the fact we don't have to go on awkward first dates anymore! We saved seats for the Grand parade with some of James' cousins and Jackson LOVED it. Of course, we finished the day off with the annual water fight at Grandma and Grandpa Bennion's. James is always the hit of all the cousins. Probably because he rips his shirt off, runs around like a crazy man, and soaks EVERYONE. He shows no mercy and you can often hear him say "oooh...sorry, are you ok?..... ouch, that must have hurt.... you're right I shouldn't do it so hard..." Gotta love him!
