4th of July

We had a great 4th! It is so nice to be back in Idaho Falls for this holiday! As much as I do miss working as a nurse, holidays are the times that I love not having to worry about working the day of or early the next morning after. We were free to party! ha.
We decided to opt out of the parade since I'm pretty sure the boys would have sat and watched it for maybe 30 seconds. And it was right during their nap. However, we did have a fun party that afternoon at the Eastmans. For dinner we celebrated at my parents house and had a birthday party for my brother. He is lucky to get fireworks for his birthday every year. Then we headed home to watch the big firework show. Again, we decided to opt out of going to the river to watch due to our two little munchkins. We were actually able to see them perfectly from our front yard though. There were quite a few people that came to our neighborhood to watch. It worked out so nice and it was about 100 times easier than going somewhere else to watch them.

Before you start feeling too bad for the boys because they missed out on all the festivities, they did get to experience it last year.
