Fourth of July Weekend!

Ya Ya I know, Im a lil late on the whole Fourth of July blogging thing,since the 4th
was over a week ago! Things got really busy and i havent really had a chance to take some time out and post a blog about our weekend! But "better late, then never" Right? During the day on the 4th we went to Discovery Park with Bob and Marinas family and barbecued! It was really enjoyable and the weather was perfect! After Tyson got off work on the 4th, We went on a little walk and then came home and decided to light off some fireworks that we had bought!As soon as it begun to get dark our subdivision basically lit up with lights and sounds from all the fireworks lil Ty was amazed by all that was going on and was looking every which way trying to figure out what was going on! Ty loved watching the bright colors from the fire works! But he hated the loud bangs and screeches that they made! Later that night after baby Ty fell asleep we went over to my parents and let of some "big boy" fireworks! At first we were reluctant to go just because it was so late, but in the end we were happy that we went. Tyson had a good time lighting off fireworks! Its funny to see how men can turn in to such kids around the 4th! I guess its just the excitement of getting to "blow things up!" Beats Me???




Also over the fourth of July weekend we floated the Boise River with my Parents, My siblings and some of their friends! We all had a pretty eventful time! Even though the Boise river is supposed to be known for relaxation and not exactly for its rapids, we had a raft deflate, a couple of rafts crash into a log and a tree, and a near death experience; my brothers friend decided to grab onto a hanging branch while floating and it riped her out of her raft she didnt want to let go of the branch because she had asthma and was afraid. So my Dad ended up saving her and the current took them about 50 ft down the river. During that time my brother lost his $200 Oakley Sunglasses and was pretty upset the rest of the trip! Despite our setbacks we did get down the river and did have some time to relax! It all ended well with a yummy bbq! WAITING TO GET PICTURES OF US ACTUALLY FLOATING THE RIVER! I WASNT BRAVE ENOUGH TO BRING MY CAMERA! SO MORE PICS COMING SOON!!!!


ON OUR WAY TO FLOAT THE RIVER

ME AND MY BABY BROTHER!

Overall our 4th of July weekend was really great! I am so thankful for the Country that I live in and all of the Freedoms that I get to enjoy! At times I take for granted all the blessings Heavenly Father has bestowed upon me! What a great time of year to remember these blessings!
