Our Fourth

As is tradition, we made our way up to Idaho Falls for the 4th of July.

We started our festivities with the parade - probably got the best viewing spot in family history. Notice Norah in this picture - sirens were going off!



This kiddo found the best spot to watch the parade - on Grandpa's lap.



In the afternoon we had our annual Croquet Tournament. Is it just me or do we look like the Sandlot?

After two grueling games, these 2 came out as victors.

My cute patriotic baby.

 We went down to the Snake River to watch the fireworks. Not the greatest spot or finale this year, but still fun.

We also went up to Heise Hot Springs to cool off in the summer heat. This was my first time back there since probably high school. The place hasn't changed one bit.

Logan was a little timid of the water for the first 5 minutes. He got used to it fast and loved swimming and kicking in his tube. His favorite games were "blast off" and "motor boat".

This was Norah Girl's first time swimming! She absolutely loved it. The water temperature was perfect and there was even some shade. Here she is with Grandma.

Uncle Andy is always entertaining.

We also enjoyed a picnic lunch and a quick dip in the big pool. The big boys went down the slide a few times. Maybe we'll get Logan on it next year. 

Another big event happened over the 4th - Norah's first tooth! Let's take a closer look:

Still a happy girl! It was such a fun week to spend with family. Happy 4th of July!
