HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!















July 4th!!  We have such a fun day together as a family doing our traditional parade, some fun activity, bar-b-que and fireworks!!  Our activity differs year to year, depending on what we decided to do!!  Justice is in the parade with her cheerleading group and we love to watch them perform and throw us lots of candy!!  Though the parade is getting more and more like a commercial ad for businesses, it is still fun to go and see what they have to show and the free giveaways and candy for the kids!!!  After the parade we headed out to Rigby Lake for some swimming and sunshine!!  It was a great afternoon, very busy place but a lot fun for everyone!!  Kids loved being in the water and sand, Justice got to work on her tan, Austin and Ethan got to bury each other and Travis and I enjoyed relaxing and watching the kids have a good day!!  Once we packed up and went home, we all got cleaned up and started food preparations for a delicious bar-b-que!!  As the evening progressed kids were very anxious for FIREWORKS!!!  What boys, kids excited for FIREWORKS, blowing things up and lighting matches.....who would have thought it!!!  HA!!!  Well they had fun lighting up some explosives, making noise and running around!!!  Later in the evening I took a few kids to go see the fireworks in Rexburg at the Nature Park.  Didn't really get any pics of that.  Needless to say we had a great day together.  It was fun to celebrate America!!  P.S. My camera batteries died during parade, so no pics of Justice cheering.  My friend took some but I have not gotten them from her yet!!  Will work on that!!
