July 4, 2013

For the 4th of July this year we went to the Rexburg Parade. It was super crowded and busy and really the parade was all businesses passing out their flyers. What memories are made of...right? We went out the morning to set up our chairs and found an ok spot. We wanted to be towards the beginning so we could get out quickly once it was all done. These are pictures of waiting for the parade to start.
 



This picture just speaks volumes of who Braden is. I have a bunch of pictures like this in a row.


McKenna and Kylie were so good at being with Braden and helping him collect some candy. He didn't want to do it by himself, and the girls really didn't want to be in the street. Grateful they were good about it.


We haven't been to the Melaleuca Idaho Falls fireworks in 12 years. We decided that we would go and check it out this year. One of Allen's employees  was very kind and had a parking spot for us and a spot to sit and watch the fireworks. Within minutes of being there, we were again reminded why we hate it so much. There were people sitting right next to us who were mildly abusive to their daughter, although it didn't help that they were already drunk and just kept putting them down while lighting up their cigarettes every few hours. Poor Ty especially could hardly breathe. But, we stuck it out. It was time for it to start and it never happened. Finally, there was an announcement made that they were searching for someone and they had to call in the search and rescue dive teams so it would be delayed at least a hour. At that point we finally left. Comparing Huntsman's to Idaho Falls, I would choose Huntsman every time! I guess all in all, it was a memorable experience.
