4th of July Festivites

We had an awesomely fun time on the 4th! We wish you all could have been there with us! Lots of family came to town... friends all over the place and there was fun to be had. You can't go wrong. We went to the Idaho Falls parade and cheered for all the floats and people going by and waved our tiny little American flag like there was no tomorrow. Ellee loved every second of it and spent most of her time down on the street in the action with her Uncle Paul and Almost Aunt Christine and Will spent all of his time in his car seat sleeping through the whole thing! After the parade was the picnic with all of the friends and yummy food and some volleyball to the max and of course lots of chatting and sitting around. After we all went home and took naps and recovered from our fun-filled morning/afternoon we headed out to the fireworks and were then pelted by monster-sized debris and fiery ashes but that's what you get when you insist on front row seats! Ellee was a handful until they started by once they lit up the sky, she was captivated and oohed and awed with the best of them! Thanks for coming to visit Aunt Kate and thanks for not lighting on fire next to me when that fire landed on your stomach!
