The 4th is always a fun holiday, I've decided I think it's partly because it's the only major holiday that's in the summer and everything is OUTSIDE! (including the messes) that and Justin has always been very patriotic, he'll probably kill me, but the the song "God Bless The USA" is one of the few things that always choke him up a little so I think our family has just always loved the 4th. We are thankful for those who fought and fight today for our country and we are very proud to be Americans!!!
On the 3rd we watched the Logan fireworks with Alisha and Dave (at Dave's work)
For the last few years, after the Lewiston parade we have been privileged to be invited to "Ma Halls" (Jake's Moms) 4th of July party! It is quite the shin dig, way bigger than Christmas for them. Ma Hall loves the 4th and her home is decked out in stars and stripes year 'round. The kids of course love this one, its better than a carnival. Complete with Razzle Dazzle castles and about every blow up, play land, swim pool, and all the food, you can imagine. Thanks Hall Family for always making us feel like part of the family :)
Jake and Justin
Jett, Taya and Davis having fun in the Razzle Dazzle Castle!
Linc & Bella found a pool just their size!
I'm not sure if that smile means "Yipee" or "Yikes that's pretty high"???
Then every year, in the evening (following the Halls Party) we have a B-B-Q with some of our friends, family, and neighbors. In the past we have always got illegal fireworks, and put on quite the show for the whole neighborhood. but after two years of the cops stopping by we decided to play it safe this year, so no big ones :( but the kids still had a good time, I think it was only us adults that were a little disappointed.
Hayden, Jett, Davis, Taya, Cole, & Linc

How fun! Cute, cute pictures too! Hey thanks for calling me today, so we could FINALLY plan a day to get together. Now let's cross our fingers that we can actually pull it off! See ya soon :)
We were wondering why our yard wasn't covered in firework remains this year. Very cute pictures.
I love the 4th too, there's just something great about being outside. Tell Justin that song chokes me up too! ;)
That's quite the celebration for the 4th. We need to get together again. Time flies!
What a fun 4th of July! We almost came out your way for the Lewiston festivities. Josh has family in Lewiston and they tell us that their parade and fireworks are the best!
You take great pictures! I love the last picture of Justin with all the kids zonked out!
