4th of July Recap!!

4th of July 2010

This year was an almost typical year of the 4th for us. We started out with our annual trip to Wyoming to get our fireworks. Our annual trip consist of our family, Scott and Jana and their little girl Paisley, Christy and Briley and their three kids: Brooke, Braxton, and Bryson, and Nate and Daphne and their two kids Peyton and Wyatt. We spent lots of money to watch burn, but it's always a fun tradition. Our drive to Wyoming was followed by a BBQ at Scott and Jana's. The food was SO good. Scott and Jana made some freakin' killer steak and ribs. MMMmmmm.

We then celebrated the fourth at the Idaho Falls Parade on July 3rd. It was SO cold, we stayed wrapped up in blankets the whole parade. We went the night before and saved a place and then Nicole, Jason, Brennin, and Conner, and Marcus and LaurieAnn came and joined us. The kids loved the candy that was thrown. Kelton was amazed with all the horses and kept saying heeehee everytime they passed by! Kaython was more in aw with the all the motorcycles and the dirt bikers; especially the dirt bikers that did flips in the air. They were pretty cool.

Kelton waving the flag!! I love this picture. True American Boy!!

Uncle Marcus and Aunt LaurieAnn, also trying to keep warm!

Aunt Nicole new how fascinated Kelton was with the horses
so she took him over to pet this horse!
He was a bit nervous, but you could tell he thought he was cool at the same time!!

Our neighbors sat next to us at the parade and they just had to share their treats the boys!
Kelton was not going to argue!
He made such a mess of himself with the Licorice they gave him!



Right after the parade we took our new camper (pics later) and went camping!! Unfortunately, I did not get many pics. But we had a blast anyways. We played lots of games, we went 4-wheeling, and had fun just hanging out and visiting. Daphne and I even made a little swimming pool for the kids, but it ended up turning into a mud puddle before we even got water in it (thanks to Kelton and wyatt). The kids had fun with it anyways.

Kelton loved Wyatt's tricycle!

Kaython posing with his Buzz Lightyear toy!

We headed home on Monday and got most of the stuff cleaned up. I had school the next day and had two big tests so we had to get the boys to my brothers to spend the night so they could watch them while I was at school. I and Brandon were going to go watch the Menan fireworks, but when it came down to it I knew I needed to study so we just went to dinner and then home and I stayed up and studied! It payed off though, I did really well on my tests!!
