Idaho Falls Part 2

 I took so many pictures in Idaho Falls that it was hard to go through them all. I even have some on my phone which will have to wait for another post. 

Here are a few more highlights from our week:

Backyard water fun!

Mom was hiding behind Sam when a water fight began . . .

  

Then the fight was really on!

Especially between these two lovebirds.

Early Saturday we went to the parade.

She insisted on bringing her bear.

Cute Marlee taking photos.

After the hot parade, it was nice to cool down with popsicles (can you spy the photo bomber?).

Family picture time (Norah and Max were taking naps).

Me and my bros - I miss them!

Showing our true sides.

Benj and Marlee bonded over jumping off the porch.

Love Benj's face in this last picture. He was having as much fun as the kids!

Memorial Day

 We had a very nice Memorial Day this year - we were able to spend time visiting Great-Grandpa Jack and Grandpa Ted.

Norah liked to help water the flowers.

Thumb and hair-twirl - something I hope we doesn't outgrow so quickly.

 After the visit to the cemetery, we went to Cutlers and got some yummy sandwiches and cookies and enjoyed them at a nearby park.

July 24th

 Pioneer Day is always a fun weekend for our family. Of course remembering our own heritage and teaching our kids about the pioneers is at the top of the list. We also enjoy celebrating with a little parade-watching, scone-eating and firework-displaying!

Our group at the parade.

Waiting for the parade to start.

 The kids loved the bands. Logan obsessed over getting candy, Norah loved the princesses, and I ran out in the street with Max and scored a Lion House roll. Benj also picked up some yummy chocolates from Mrs. Cavanaughs!

 We went to Bountiful Park for the festival and enjoyed the music, food and rides.

 And sword fighting.

 We also enjoyed a little BBQ in our own backyard. The kids love eating outside. It was the perfect evening!
