4th of July

I must admit, Idaho Falls is a great place to celebrate the 4th. Parade in the morning, activities along the greenbelt all day, fireworks at night along the river. It was even a tad chilly this year, which I think is weird considering it's July and you should be able to fry an egg on the sidewalk. We had a great 4th, which for us just consisted of the parade and BBQ at our house. We had a perfect spot at the parade in the shade since I went and marked off a spot the night before. Yes, I was one of "those" people. But hate me or not, it was totally worth it. Anyway, we also did a last minute BBQ with anyone who was around (I only took one picture of the kids for some reason). We did not go watch fireworks this year because 1. Logan is terrified of the noise and hates them and 2. they don't start until 10:30 and that is really late for us. Some of our neighbors set off HUGE ones, so it was just like our own private viewing. Fireworks are legal here, so you can pretty much see great ones from your very own front yard. Here are some picts: Tate, Josue, Logan and Jake having some good 'ol hamburgers and hot dogs.

Logan's favorite part of the parade (he made me take the picture).

McKaylee, Elise, Logan and Tate lounging in our front row parade seats. (Blurry because some unnamed toddler likes to take pictures with my camera even though he has his own and gets finger prints on the lens.)

Buddies!
