Happy fourth of July everyone (well late fourth). We had a great time. It was REALLY hot. When I looked at the temp for Rathdrum it was 90*. Anyway, we went to an early flag raising ceremony for our ward then we went to the parade in Coeur d'Alene. The kids seemed to enjoy it. Last year we went to Coeur d'Alene and sat on the lake and watched the fireworks. The show was boring to us but to others from the area it was fantastic. Daniel & I decided that we were spoiled living in Idaho Falls on the 4th of July. So we decided that we would stay home this year and have our own firework show. We went and bought a small package of fireworks and lite them off that evening. We also had a great firework show all around us that was far better than Coeur d'Alene. The kids were really nervous of all the fireworks especially the ones that went off just over our heads (lite off by the neighbors). They were nervous about the ones we lite off but likes the sparklers. There were so many fireworks going on all around us that the kids didn't get to bed until almost 11:00pm. So needless to say they were extremely tired today. All in all it was a fun day.

Riley really liked his flags. Anytime he saw other kids waving them he would do the same.
So patriotic!
