4th of July Weekend

My family came over from Boise to enjoy the festivities! We had a BBQ and headed over to Leatherby's! (Of course!)
Then we came home and did some fireworks in front of the house. We pulled out the ladder like we always do to make the fireworks even bigger! It's a silly tradition but we love it! We had a few neighbors over and it was tons of fun. Nothing like watching your money go up in flames!
On Saturday the guys played some golf while the girls went shopping. Then we headed over to Idaho Falls downtown to stake out our spot for the fireworks show. We were there 5 full hours early but people were already EVERYWHERE. We played cards and farkle and enjoyed a picnic on the banks of the Snake River. It was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect.

We only had one major meltdown which I thought was pretty good since we were there for such a long time:
The show didn't disappoint. It is rumored to be the best fireworks show east of the Mississippi. I love the 4th! Always have, always will!
Lots more fun to come this week!

Looks like you guys had tons of fun with your family! (Except for the little meltdown, Poor Parker) Beautiful picture of the river & temple!

That sounds like a great weekend. I used to go to Leatherby's in Salt Lake and I LOVE that place! I didn't know there was one in Idaho Falls. Next time we go visit Andrew's family in Idaho Falls, I am going to make him take me there.

I loved that event so much---it made going to school in Rexburg much more bearable! :) Gorgeous!

And I love that first picture of your little guy with the sparkler- so classic!
