The 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July holiday this year! To start off the day we had a fun barbecue with our friends and I made these cute little individual fruit pizzas. It's my little tradition. I have only ever made them one other time, but I think it is a tradition that I want to have fruit pizza on the 4th of July.

After our barbecue we headed down to Idaho Falls with Carlee and our friends Haley and Andrew for the biggest firework show West of the Mississippi! (well at least that is what they say) There was a lot to do in Idaho Falls including a car show, a pie eating contest, and lots of food venders. We walked around for a while and looked at all of the things to do. There was a lot of stuff for little kids to do and it made me excited to have kids and celebrate holidays with them. 

We heard that you had to arrive really early to get a parking spot and a place to sit, so we arrived around 3 and the fireworks didn't start until 10. There was a lot of lounging around but we brought board games and cards, and we played catch and some rounds of pickle. 

It was a beautiful day by the river and a great day celebrating the 4th of July. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love all of the red, white and blue and I love all of the patriotism. I feel like being American is something that everyone can bond over and there is always a feeling of unity on the 4th of July. I am so grateful for all of the freedoms that we get to enjoy by being a part of this great country. 

Of course we finished the day off with the long awaited firework show. It was pretty good, I just felt like we were a little far away from the fireworks. But still, it was really long and really pretty.
