4th of July (a little late)

I was informed by my sister in law Cara, that I need to blog more.  :)  So, Cara, this is for you!  I'll start off by our 4th of July.  We had a blast!  We had both Jamie and I's family in town.  Cara and Kash came a little before the 4th, so we were able to hang out with them quite a bit.  We took the kids to see Bear World with Grandpa and Grandma Sullenger.  Ivy LOVED it, especially the rides.  I loved watching her face!  She had so much fun with her cousins Hudson and Roxie!
On the 4th, we watched the parade with Kash and Cara and Dorsie and then headed to my Uncle Tad's for a BBQ after.  My parents rolled into town and joined us there, as well as Derik & Kayla, Sid & Jenna.  Ivy had a blast meeting new kids and playing on the slip n' slide.  After the BBQ, my family and us headed over to watch the Idaho Falls fire works.  Derik set up the shell to his tent and made it extra cozy for everyone.  Michele and Layne and Kash and Cara watched them close by us, so we were able to see both sides, which made it a lot of fun!  The fireworks were as beautiful as ever!  We sure missed Riley, as the 4th is HIS holiday to the T.  The little pyro he is :)
