A MUCH NEEDED UPDATE........

Ok, so I am just going to start where I left off. So much has happened. We had a fun 4th of July as always. But this year was a little more relaxing and enjoyable. In the past we have had to be up early and to the Rexburg parade by 8:00 because Madi has usually danced in the parade. NOT this year!! The last couple of years it has been SO hot and the parade has been at least 2 hours long. That is too long for little girls to be on the hot road dancing.

So we got to sleep in!!! The night before we had a BBQ and went to the fireworks at the Lake with our good friends Jonah and Kasha and their girls, and Jory and Heidi and their girls. LOVE good friends!!! Then on the 4th we took our time getting ready and made our way to the festivities in Menan around noon.

We always go to the parade first. My kids LOVE to see their Grandpa ride through the parade! And this year their uncle Jason, my brother, was in it also.

After the parade we just walk around and let the kids play games and eat untill it is time to watch the fireworks. I love watching the Menan fireworks. No crowds and the show is GREAT!!!!
