Hooray for the Red, White, & Blue

The kids and I decided to ride our bikes down the the Community Breakfast in Firth.  I still remember riding bikes with my family out to Gerrard's for their breakfast on the 4th.  (Plus we could log some miles for our Summer Challenge.)  And since we were on a tight schedule, Brent volunteered to drive to bring us home.

The kids and I had a lot of fun decorating them.

My baby that's rounding that corner and not looking much like a baby anymore.

The whole gang

After the breakfast we bee-lined it for Idaho Falls to watch the parade by the Jensen's.

I love festive dressed kids.  They are so cute.

After the parade we had a picnic at Jensen's with a water fight following.  There were more squeals of delight and surprise.

The kids had a blast, but only an adult or two joined in the fun.  All the others sat in the shade scowling- don't get me wet!

After a busy day of festivities, we opted to go over to Grandma and Grandpa Hillman's to watch Christensen's fireworks and light off our own.  The kids thought it was awesome and we didn't have to haul tired kids and fight the traffic up in Idaho Falls.
