4th of July

This year was a bit low key for the 4th since it's fallen on a Sunday. We did our celebrating yesterday and it made for a fun family outing. Our morning started at 8:20 when we were late for our wards 4th of July breakfast. We got to have a yummy breakfast followed by the bike parade. This year was fun because Jacob participated in the parade by riding his mini bike, Savannah also loved it because she got candy.

Afterwards we went exploring and ended up at the Nampa Farmers Market which I wasn't super impressed with but it was still fun. As we were heading back to the car Jacob wanted to go into a used bookstore so we looked around in there for quite some time and it was super fun. Next we went back to a local park to let Savannah play and watch the ducks, it was bEAUTIFUL weather and the day was just awesome.





We headed home after the park and had lunch and then Savannah went down for a nap. Jacob headed out to Middleton to help his dad with a project and I finally finished panting Savannah's room and getting her bed and toys organized. I still have to clean out the closet in her room and put up shelves and pictures but I'm like 80% done so I'm excited. Then Sandi and Jared came over and we all headed out to Melba to see fireworks (it was a first for Savannah). We weren't quite sure where they were setting them off so we just parked along the side of the road with a ton of other people. It ended up working out perfect cause we were far enough away that the noise didn't bother Savannah and we were only stuck in traffic for a hour. Overall it was a super fun day. I also ended up looking at pictures from last year, it was crazy to see how much Savannah has grown up and the fun things we did last year.
Its crazy how time flies and how much Savannah has changed I can't believe how different she looks and how much she has learned. Anyway I hope everyone else has had a fun 4th of July and remembers how lucky we are to live here and have the freedoms we do.
