Fun on the 4th

We went to my parents cabin in Island Park for the 4th of July. The whole family was there except for Eric and Carrie's family who live in Mississippi. (We missed you!) We had a great time hot tubbing, horseback riding (a 2 hour ride that turned into a 3 hour ride, my butt was sore for days). And I've learned that Scattergories with Krista will make you laugh until you cry.

I'm not sure that s'more is big enough for him...

waiting for fireworks to start

Women and old men watch the fireworks in chairs. (J/k dad). :) 

They shoot the big fireworks over the water so people take their boats out on the lake and watch from there. How fun! We'll have to do this next year.

This boat was part of the 'boat parade' earlier in the day, and they drove by to entertain us. It was playing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and they were wearing Wizard of Oz costumes.

Mike and I took the kids up to Star Valley, WY for a night on our way home and stayed with his brother Nick and his wife, Jill. These two pics are from a hike Mike took the kids on to the intermittent springs.
