July 4th

Soda Springs is the place to be on the 4th of July! We couldn't miss the parade, but then this year we skipped town and headed to Rexburg. Here are the pix:

Mater showed up in Soda on the 4th!

We sat at out traditional spot by the cemetery and played a game of Boccie ball. We were joined by Grandma & Grandpa Petersen, John & Michele's family, Roylene, Jared & A.C.


Our cousin Sierra showed up first with the TMS drill team - then a few minutes later Megan came by with the cheerleaders.
Check out this shot of Hunter(9) letting his big cousin Jared(26?) ride his bike home - who is the bigger kid ?

Water fun and volleyball along with bike riding, 4-wheeling,basketball, boccie ball, and kite flying!
Grandma & Grandpa surprised us by driving to Rexburg too - yahoo!
Shelby was trying to make all the girls hot pad thingy - Katie came up with a new use for hers?!?
This is late at night watching videos of Jake on his mission. Craig came over with his kids and a couple of their Canadian cousins too.
Mara just had to have a photo for Katie - this is from the square ice cream store in Swan Valley.

Palisades reservoir on the way home - it hasn't had this much water for years. Makes you want to jump in, but it is all snow melt ~ brrrr!

It was a fantastic weekend, although too short. I was glad we got to go and visit Blake and his family and get a look at their new home. We got to hang out with Craig's bunch too. We stayed up too late and ate too much ~ what could be better than that?? Oh, I know next weekend when a huge bunch of us will get together for a family reunion on the hill!!!!!!
