4th of July

 We went to the Menan parade, and then the fun little park events on the fourth.  The little kids wanted to do the face painting.  They turned out great

 They all wanted to ride the pony, and Adison was so excited to ride it until I put her on the horse.  I put Brytlee on the back thinking it would help but it didn't, then I held her hand and she was fine.  I had to let go of her hand for a second so I could take a picture and she broke down again.

I could not believe how stinking hot is was... I was feeling a little cooked so we didn't stay very long.  We went to Annette's house and had a little camp out.  My parents took their camper, and stayed the night, we went to the neighborhood firework show, and it was great.  Annette and I wanted to take our kids over to the snake river to show them the Big fireworks that night so we went over and found a great spot with duck poo all over the place and waited and waited and waited and waited.... we looked at the time and it was well past 10:30 so we asked what was going on and found out that a group of three men jumped in the river and tried to swim out to the island and only two of them come out of the water.  So they had search and rescue out looking for him for over a hour and our kids were driving me crazy so we went home.  And of course as soon as we almost got home.... the fireworks started.  The guy was 24 and had drowned.  They found him around 2 in the morning.
