I think that the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the feeling of patriotism and togetherness that I always feel on the 4th. It makes me proud to live in this country, to know that I am free to make choices, and to raise a family and be able to teach righteous principles to my children. We had a great 4th of July. Mike's mom and dad surpised us my coming down for the weekend, so we were able to spend some time with them. During the morning we had a neighborhood breakfast and program at the church. We got there on time- which means we were early for mormon time lol! And Mike got to help cook breakfast. I would say he did a very good job! Then we had a program with some musical numbers and talks and a flag raising ceremony.
And I got proof that Joel and his cousin CAN be nice to each other and really do like each other!
After breakfast I went to help sell fireworks at the firework stand my family is helping to man, and Joel and daddy got to play. In the afternoon - my favorite time of the day!- naps for all! The we headed out to our super secret favorite spot to watch the fireworks ( notice the outback steakhouse sign!) and had a bbq with Mike's family and watched the firework show!
I LOVE the Idaho Falls fireworks - claimed to be the best west of the Mississippi. So if you missed them and want to see most of the show- I have about 300 pictures of fireworks from 1/2 an hour of the show. You can see most of the show-- but here are just a few so enjoy!
And Happy 4th of July!

Fun pictures! That was nice of your hubby to cook breakfast. We heard the firework stand you guys manned had better stuff than the place we went to by Albertsons. I wished we would have know before we bought our lame-O stuff. :)
