Fourth of July In Payson, AZ!!!

So what did you do for the Fourth of July this year?

For the last two years in a row, I haven't got the chance to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July. This year I was hoping would be different and it was!

Josh had to work at the motocross race in Payson, AZ. If I haven't mentioned before he works for the father of a race team which consists of his two twin eleven year-old boys, Stone (#52) and Slayter (#25), who race dirt bikes! He is their personal mechanic. He absolutely loves his job! The boys are getting really good! Now, they are starting to travel more to race in other areas across the United States.

Anyways, so on Friday, July 3, 2009, Josh was told that they were going to race the next day in Payson. Josh and I had already planned to spend the Fourth of July together so we were determined to work something out. Josh would leave that day to Payson so the boys could practice on the track the day before the race. He would stay up there over night with his boss and the boys. The next morning, I woke up and headed straight to Payson. I was so excited because this was going to be the first time I had ever seen them race!

I didn't think I was going to see fireworks after all but it didn't matter because an exciting race sounded so much better!!

The races began at about 5:00 p.m. The races were all intense and the riders ranged from young beginner to veteran riders! The boys had four races that day!

All four of the races were intense from start to finish!! The boys took the lead in every race! They were a good thirty seconds in front of all the other riders! During one race, both of them fell, but still got up in enough time to keep their lead.

These two young boys knew racing well and were great at it! In every race, Stone and Slayter took 1st and 2nd place! Every race was thrilling, exciting, and fun to watch!

As about 9 p.m. approached, looking from the racetracks over the beautiful green trees in the nearby park, amazing fireworks went off for about twenty minutes! Wow! It was a great ending to an enjoyable day!

My Fourth of July was more than I could have asked for and I wouldn't have changed anything about it!!

Edge of your seat racing, fireworks, and great people made this day absolutely wonderful! Next weekend I'm going to Payson again for another race and I can't wait! I know it will be another great day!
