Fourth of July Festivities

I'm a little behind on this post, but better late than never I guess!
My Fourth of July weekend was a little strange. I had Thursday and Friday off from school so I was pretty excited. It turns out I got really sick Wednesday evening and I didn't start feeling better till Friday evening. Thankfully I was feeling great by the 4th. But I was still able to go to a family bbq on Friday night, which was really fun.

FRIDAY NIGHT: Bbq at Mom & Dad Miller's

Dustin & Erika put together a bbq at Tyson's parents' house. It was a lot of fun. Thanks again, Dustin & Erika!

I was so bummed I couldn't eat dinner with everybody! But it was still fun being there. Here is one of the tables. Check out those little tents. Erika found those for putting over bowls when outside and they're awesome! I need to get me some of those. Perfect for camping.

Erika made this super cute flag out of cupcakes. Yummy!

Our contribution was rice krispy treats. We made tried to show our patriotism by putting the sprinkles on them. :)

SATURDAY: A bbq with the Murri's

Before the fireworks we went to a bbq at Lance & Trina's house. It was fun seeing more family.

There's Mom in the red!

Glad to be there!

Coya's baby is due in a couple of weeks and her poor little feet are so swollen! I'm pretty sure that's what she's talking about with John and Kristen.

Onto the Meleleuca Freedom Celebration!

We love going to the fireworks on the river in Idaho Falls. And we had excellent seats. We sat on the bridge right were the fireworks go off. We could see them shooting out, it was crazy! We had a great time with some of Tyson's family and Amber & Che'.

Did we mention this fireworks show is ranked 14th in the nation? Pretty cool!

The batteries ended up going dead, but it was still fun without it!

And they're off! See how close we were? The fireworks were going off right below those people right there. So fun!

And seeing as it is Thursday, we are so thankful for this free country that we live in! And we're also thankful for those men and women who have sacrificed their lives to keep it that way. We are also thankful for such wonderful family and friends who love and support us. We don't know what we'd do without all of you!
We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!
