Independence Day 2018

We love going to Uncle Paul's house for the 4th of July.  The parade and fireworks never disappoint, but mostly we love being with family and having fun on the river!

The day started out with the 4th of July breakfast that is held at the Osgood Chapel.  They have a great patriotic program to start with and then a tasty breakfast.

We were glad for the sun on this chilly morning despite it being especially bright!

 
 It was a particularly cold day this 4th of July so we put on our jackets and wrapped up in blankets for the 4th of July breakfast and parade.  Jeremy got so cozy that he fell asleep during the parade!

 The whole gang at the parade.  Once things started warming up, it got warm fast!

The cousins had a good time together!

 
 And of course Idaho Falls really knows how to put on a fireworks show!

The afternoon of the 4th and the next day we spent playing on the river.  Jeremy is always brave to ski and surf.  This year he had no problem getting up on one ski and he got up on his first try ever wake boarding.

 Josh (left) and Kayden (right) tried some knee boarding.  It was Kayden's first time and opted to stay on his stomach but had a really good time.  Josh tried his hand at doing some tricks.

Tubing behind the boat is always entertaining.  Uncle Paul sure knows how to make some waves and then hit them just right.  I have decided that riding in the boat causes me less anxiety than riding on the tube so I stayed dry.  It was a fun filled couple of days and always a time that we look forward to each year!
