4th of July

As a child this was my favorite holiday, and this year was no exception.  We started the day with the Rexburg parade. We debated a lot on which parade to go to (Rexburg or Idaho Falls) we ended up deciding to go to Rexburg so that I could see some of my students that I knew would be in the parade.

After the parade we went home for lunch and then headed out to Ririe to go for a hike at Crest Creak. We spent the afternoon up there enjoying the sun and the view.

The rest of the afternoon was spent with my parents and Becca and Justin. We decided at about 6 that we were hungry and wanted to go get something to eat. After calling about 15+ restraunts and finding that they were all closed we decided we would just go into town and see if anything was open. The only thing we found was Dairy Queen and it closed early (at that point we had about a 1/2 hour) we quickly called the rest of the clan to join us. Dairy Queen workers were a little upset since they were trying to close down, which in turn meant they had turned off the grill and there was very little options and food left. Needless to say we cleaned them out.

Kevin and I then headed with Becca and Justin and the kids to Idaho Falls for the fireworks. We spent a little time walking around and entertaining Livia before the show began. The show was like always AMAZING! And the day like always was WONDERFUL!

Look at those cheeks!
