Fourth Of July


Happy Fourth Of July!!!

We are having a great time! My sister Lara from Seattle is in town with her two kids Adam and Ainsley. Derek is back in Seattle moving the family into a new house (that sounds like a great way to move :), although Lara boxed up the entire house solo with kids) Allie is having a great time with the cousins; although she is a little leery every time Adam comes close to her. We have been quite busy since they came to town, jam packing our days full.


We started off the fourth with a movie for the kids; Allie's 1st movie theater experience. We went and saw Happy Feet which Allie ended up mostly sleeping through. We decided to brave the 105 degree temperature and went to the 4th of July Parade in downtown Boise. It was a great parade; lots of candy, popcycles, and a hose down from the local fire department.

My dad also turned 60 on the 5th, so we had quite the bash for him. We had a BBQ at his new house on his new grill. We turned on the sprinkler in the backyard, which entertained the kids and kept them cool in the 107 degree weather. We thought it would also be fun to float the river with everyone in town; so on Friday we brought over our babysitter and went down the Boise river. I hadn't done that for years and forgot how fun it is!!!

I walked to the fridge and came back to this; a baby on the dishwasher. She is quick!

My patriotic girl!
