4th of July Celebrations

We had a really fun 4th of July week. Brandon took Monday off and we headed up to Driggs for the hot air balloons. We were a little disappointed that after leaving our house at 4:45 am there were only 6 balloons launching from the site, but it was still fun to watch. We headed over to Jackson from Driggs and did a short hike, had a picnic, and let the kids play in the lake. It was a really fun day.




For the 4th of July we went to Rexburg to watch the parade. I sat back by the curb while Brandon supported the kids out in front. I think they had a good time waving, dancing and struggling to get candy!


Lately Aiden won't smile for the camera. I had to include this picture of him in his 4th of July outfit and way cute smile!


On the evening of the 5th we took the kids out to the cul de sac and lit our own fireworks. They would hardly sit still for a picture. As we were walking out of the house Brandon asked the boys "Now who lights the fireworks?" Josh and Aiden immediately responded, "Me!" Not quite what we were going for kids. Don't worry we had the fire safety talk again before starting!






We have had some pretty warm days so we set up the swimming pool. Here's a picture of Brandon, Josh and Aiden enjoying the water on a hot, sunny day.
