4th

A few days later we had everyone over again for the 4th (and to help us eat all the leftovers! We sort of over ordered the food!) Carson got a new puppy and we put pop it's in the wood shavings. It was a super fun and easy party! The neighbors even let off some fireworks that were amazing!!

We made the trek up to Lewiston for the 4th of July!! We woke up early and drove up just in time for the parade. The parade was perfect this year! We got pelted with candy and got to see all the animals and princesses and bands right up close! The kids were on a little sugar high -Gk's tantrum in the middle of the parade, but it's a long parade and all you have is this candy, and they keep throwing more at you all the time! (Or it could have been the powdered doughnuts on the drive up)
After we went to the festival and Gk was in heaven! There were tons of bouncy houses but the lines were a little long. Brandon was nice enough to take Gk in it because he has a hard time climbing up the ladders and things. Brandon got pretty banged up, thanks again Brandon!!
We went to Jenn's aunts house for the red white & blue party! It was really fun! The food was delicious! Becca can sure cook up a hamburger!! The girls got a good nap and cow was in the corn.. who knew that was bad!?! They sure looked cute!
We went back to Jenn's for some rest, then we went to Garrick & Holly's farm! That is the most fun place ever!!! Gk loves those cows. Those Halls work so hard and their kids are adorable. Gk just looks up to them SO much! We got to see how they milk the cows, Gk fed the baby goat, Gk got a ride on the Ranger. It was so much fun! Always the highlight!!
We started on our way home with some ice cream from Casper's. Too bad the kids fell asleep before we got there!

Hahaha! I'm glad you enjoyed your hamburger. And yes, the cows getting out and eating the corn is BAD. I loved that you were taking pictures while the rest of us were running around like crazy people trying to get it back in. :)

Thanks for coming up and letting us see cute GK and Miss Bentley.
