4th of July

We are all about traditions on the 4th of July.  We always go to the parade, Wendy's for lunch, do whatever in the afternoon, BBQ with family for dinner, watch the fireworks from Broadway Wendy's at night then come home and light our own fireworks.  This year was no different and it is always a great time.  We are so thankful for this country that we live in and for all the men and women who fight to protect our freedoms and all that we enjoy here in the good ol' USA.

We went to Rexburg for the parade this year.
They got to be in the parade to hand out coupons with the Wendy's float and they loved it!
Ready to watch the fireworks.  The firework show started over an hour late this year because a guy decided to jump into the river to swim to a little island about 1/2 hour before the show was to start.  Anyway sadly he didn't make it and the search and rescue team were looking for him so hence the delay in the fireworks.
Lighting our own fireworks.  Our kids love to light the fireworks, I don't think they care at all
about watching they just like to light them!



And last but not least, the sparklers.  I am learning and think I will be able to take
some cooler pictures next year with the sparklers.
