Party Hardy

 At about 5:30 David showed up at the feis Saturday night ready to head to the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. We grabbed our winter gear and tired faces and headed to the year end Vivint Carnival. Apparently this new company is massive! I didn't realize that this little invite from earlier in the month was for such a grandiose event. Once we got down to the fairgrounds, we literally spent 20 minutes driving around trying to find parking. I thought, there is no way this is all Vivint peeps?! We walked a ways to finally get in, and then followed the heard to the stadium. Once we finally got to our seats, I asked Dave to pull up the event info on his phone and tell me what was all going on for this party. With the dance agenda filling my brain, I had no room for spare attention to details. We were pleased to find out that we were given 40 tickets in advance for free EVERYTHING! Literally everything you could think of to do fun with your kids it was there. I will list what I can remember.

All you could attain as much as you wanted with as many tickets as you had. We were there until 10:30pm and we were only able to use half of our tickets. Before we did the rides and fun outside the arena, we watched the motocross on freezing seats. It was awesome watching these insane guys on dirt bikes flying everywhere. They also had a high ramp for skateboards and bikers to jump off. Guys with guts willing to chase greased pigs and put them in a bucket. A "fun" run for kids under 12, first kid got an ipad and the next 10 got $100. Last but not least they had a Razor race. They look like mini dune buggies. This was the big shabang! Everyone who was involved in these races are employees. The first place winner got $10,000! They announced to everyone that they had over $700,000 worth of giveaways for the event. Who honestly has that for their employees in this economy?! We finished the night with a massive fireworks show and of course they even through in massive orange V's somehow. It was an amazing experience, and we all had an awesome time. I am still in awe at the company Dave works for and appreciate the great lengths they went to in putting on a 100% family friendly event. Next year we will have to be physically prepared to keep up with the kiddos though! By the time we left I felt like the walking dead.
