For the 4th of July is definitely Idaho Falls!
Maybe I'm a little biased but I love it. I love all my family's traditions, I love the parade, the swimming, the BBQ's, and the fireworks!
This year was a little different...both my parents rented hotel rooms down by the river so we hung out there most of the day.
In the morning we went to the Parade, Maddix is a little scared of...well everything, so I thought he would for sure freak out with all the loud cars, music and horns, but he didn't. He did so well and actually really seemed to like it.
Then Eric flew in to town so we went and picked him up then went down to the river for a bike ride and then some swimming.
Then we just kind of hung out until it was time for dinner and the fireworks. Maddix again did great during the fireworks, he just sat there and watched them.
Thanks family for making it such a great 4th and thanks to Eric for coming up to good ol' IF for less than 24 hours, we really did love having you there!
America…the other greatest place! We are so blessed that we live in this beautiful nation. I am grateful for all those who give so freely of themselves to help protect us, Thank You for all you do!

Natalie I'm so glad you had a great 4th of July! I'm glad Eric made it home. Looks like you guys have been having lots of fun and Maddix is always so cute!
I love Idaho Falls fireworks too. I had no idea your dad cut hair too. That is something I wouldnt have pictured. Maddix sounds just like how Kingston was. He still cries through the night and he is almost two and a half! He also still cries during hair cuts :(
I agree, there is no place like IF for the 4th. So jealous you always get to go home and spend it there! Loved all these pics, Maddix is growing up so much! And Nick's girls are so beautiful. They all look like they have so much fun together. Can't wait to see you soon! I am going to be in IF from the 17th to Aug. 3rdish...
We grew up watching fireworks and doing everything in Idaho Falls, I LOVED, the fireworks by the lake and temple! SO FUN! I am glad you had a good fourth! Maddix is gettng SO BIG! I seriously cant believe it he is such a doll!
How fun! I am glad you got to spend more time with your family and hubby! Love the cute pictures of your sweet sweet little man :)
We heard a band and all assumed it was a firework and also kinda wondering why someone let off such a big one in the parade. Then the two boys grabbed their legs and with their eyes wide open let out an, "oh". The police and paramedics came and took him and his bloody, mangled foot on a stretcher. Everyone thinking it was from a firework, we were surprised and scared to find out they pulled a bullet out of the one kid's foot. They have no idea where it came from or who shot it but it was scary since our kids were right there.
I meant a bang not band ;)
Love u so much my little family! So glad you joined us for the 4th. Thanks again for being the greatest sister I could ever ask for. You are truly amazing and I would die without you. Thanks for also helping me with my kids. You are such a great auntie. We love you all. Miss you and see you soon.
I love the 4th in IF to! It ended up being a beautiful day, I was sure it would rain. We have done the hotel thing and I love it to. It is so relaxing. Glad you had a great time!
I haven't been to IF for the 4th in so long. They do put on quite a firework show. I was worried Emmett would be scared of the loud fireworks, so we were pretty far from them but he wasn't phased. I love that carrier!!! Emmett's legs are getting too big for his baby bjorn, but loves being "worn" around.
I have always heard that IF really knows how to celebrate the fourth. Out of all my years there in Rexburg I was never there in July. I'm glad you were able to go home for the big event. I've only seen maddix once but I'm in love with him. He is so adorable!!!
What a great 4th of July! So fun you got to spend it with family and even better that Eric came, even if it was just for 12 hours.
looks like fun! The girls are getting so big!
Totally agree--IF and the 4th are inseparable! looks like I missed seeing you there, but it looks like you had a great time!
Great post! I have been to the fireworks once or twice. They are truly the best show around. Thanks for your thoughts on our country and our soldiers. Alex
I just figured out how to not be anonymous thanks to Anna! Later
Hey Nat. I honestly displace your email all the time, so if you put it on my blog then I'll never be able to lose it. Haha. Miss you!
Yes, I totally agree that I.F. is the only place worth going to for the 4th of July! :) Glad you guys had as much fun there as we did! We need to get together again soon!
