Happy 4th of July


We have made it a tradition to go to Paris, ID for the chuck wagon breakfast, program and parade on the 4th of July. This year however,Cody made our little family a wonderful breakfast at home then we headed down later for the festivities. Saige especially loved playing at the awesome Elementary park, which is very cool! The kids were so excited about the parade, mostly the candy, and Saige loves her little necklace. The flags, floats and banners were so beautiful and patriotic. I loved having that opportunity to celebrate our Independence and to reflect on what our forefathers did for us. We had a great time with the Smith's and Grandpa and Kayla. I have to say one of the most enjoyable parts of the day was taking naps afterward and getting out of all the tourist commotion.

Later in the evening we took the dogs for a swim in the golf course ponds at dusk. Then we watched the fireworks from the golf course with the Fam! As you can see the kids were "OHH and AWW" -ing. It was obviously past Ridge's bed time but it was awesome to watch the beautiful colors and celebrate our INDEPENDENCE!
