Fourth of July Celebrations

So this Fourth we sure did have a blast! After enjoying two days off of school and work we were well rested and prepared for our first Independence Day celebration together. We got up and made some yummy French Breakfast Puffs and made our way down the street to find a good spot to watch the parade. Once we found a good spot we made some calls to make sure that Julie came to her first Rexburg Parade. We staked out our spot with Tommi's new birthday present(s) - two camping chairs.


















Julie and Cassidy showed up just in time as the parade was starting and James, Michelle, Jack and Elena showed up just a little time after them. We all enjoyed the different floats, even if we questioned why some of them were in a "Fourth of July" parade like this StarWars float, or crazy car wash boy scout guy.
















We really enjoyed watching some of jacks reactions as well.



Tommi loves being able to spend time with Elena, but then again who wouldn't want to hold such a beautiful little girl. We also enjoyed Jacks new dance moves. It took us a while to figure out why he kept on tripping, but then realized he was doing it on purpose. Perhaps you can figure out why he did it...



After the parade we all went over to James and Michelle's place and fried up some hot dogs and enjoyed each others company. We really appreciated the wonderful time we had to spend together that night to talk with each other about embarrassing stories and play games.
