Summer fun - linkup

Every July for the past 4 years, I've been going to an all day concert in Denver, Colorado called Heavenfest. They usually have over 60 bands across different genres playing on about 8 different stages. People come from all over to attend this festival. I love that we're from different backgrounds and different states and different denominations but for one day, we put that all aside and just worship Jesus together.

It has definitely grown in the years that I've gone. It started with just me, my dad and my baby sister. It was one of the most exhausting and exhilarating days of my life though. They flew in from Albuquerque and me from San Antonio on Saturday morning, spent all day in the scorching sun and then had to kill time before our flights on Sunday morning. We headed to see GI Joe in the movies and my dad and I passed out, haha. After the movie was over, we spent the remaining hours sleeping on the floor in the airport.

The next year my older sister, my brother in law, my cousin and my self all drove up and met my dad and my baby sister. This year the venue was right on a lake so that's how we cooled off during the day. When the festival was over, we drove around for what seems like forever looking for a hotel room so that we could get a few hours of sleep before beginning the 16 hour drive back home.

This past year, we had the biggest group. We drove two cars and met my dad and little sister in CO. Thankfully, we hooked up with a family friend that lives in Cheyenne, WY which was only 30 minutes from the concert. We got there Friday so we had an extra day to hang out and relax before the concert. That also meant that we didn't need to drive around forever after looking for a place to stay.
