Fourth of July in Idaho

We decided somewhat last minute to go up to Idaho Falls for the long fourth of July weekend. This is an out of order pic of the finale from the fireworks. Which doesn't do it justice because it was so awesome. 

The boys helped out in the yard quite a bit with doing bark and power washing etc. I'm so thankful my dad allows them to work for him. He is a good boss and pays well!

Evelyn, in her summer temple wish, we drove up to the Rexburg temple (the IF temple was closed for cleaning the days we were there) and it was a very pretty temple. But, there were people in the baptistry ha ha so we broke our streak. 

But it was still quick and really nice. I'm so glad Evelyn has a desire to go to the temple. 

Hanging out watching the fourth of July parade. 

Grandpa's shirt was so funny. And cool. And very unlike him to wear ha ha.

Evelyn playing and loving on Nala Joe's dog. 

Adeline cared about getting candy. 

Our great spot to watch the fireworks. 

We invited the Sintays (who recently moved to Idaho Falls) to come watch with us since it was their first year. 

Fun fireworks!

They had some very cool ones I hadn't seen this year. And due to developments, this is the last year Melaleuca will be doing it. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future for the fireworks there. 

 Yeah for America!

Adeline goes to Camp Tracy

Some of the "activity age" kids in our ward got to go to Camp Tracy on July 1st. We didn't really know what to expect, other than it is a day camp with fun outdoor activities, somewhat like cub country used to me. Adeline had a lot of fun. Here she is doing the climbing wall.

She really liked shooting the beebee gun. 

Her favorite part was doing the lake rowing! 

Here she is before she left :) 

More rock climbing.

Finding dinosaur stuff. 

And more lake rowing. 

It was a fun night. They went from 215-9ish at night so it was a very fun adventure for her!
 

Classic day, and family adventure night at Boondocks

Out of order pic after Adeline spent her arcade tickets getting little donut necklaces. 

Had another classic fun center day. It's been fun to bring friends that have summer fun passes as well.

We had a lunch day at the park. We have hardly gone to lunch at the park/school this summer. Too busy!

Then for Christmas last year, Ryan and I got our family passes to Boondocks. We finally found a night that everyone could go (Ryan had limited time off from work when everyone else was available) so we went on June 30. It was a very late night, but we got Little Caesar's pizza beforehand instead of Boondocks pricey pizza. 

Eating out of the back of the van is classic ha ha. 

Waiting for the bumper water boats. Those are fun. I got the most soaked. 

Driving the go carts. Everyone but Adeline got to drive the big ones. I got lapped several times.

Liam was the fastest driver. 

Proof I was there. 

They had some smaller go carts that Adeline got to ride. She really loved it.

After that, we did the mini golf course. Which was actually 18 holes. They were very unique holes and overall, we had fun with a little bit of drama. 

Mostly some people got better at holding the putter. 

We all did the ropes course after that. I was too chicken and only did two sections. Everyone else went around like a crazy person. You couldn't have phones while up there so I just got these quick shots of Evelyn before she came down and I was already off. She loved the zip line. 

And then our passes gave us each some arcade money. The boys loved pinball.

And we went on this dark ride. I found these pictures of the three kids hilarious. They all look like killer bosses with those dark glasses on ha ha.

Liam rode a few motorcycle rides with his arcade money. 

They definitely gave us more than our 4 hour passes because we were still there close to 1015pm! We are crazy people! The girls redeeming their tickets. Evelyn got that huge ball in a game and she was so excited. It was a really fun night.
