Summer Fun

We have been having alot of fun this summer even though we have been spending too much time working in the yard. We took Stockton to the lake with some friends and his little girlfriend, Mya. He is already protective of her.
We went to Boise for the 4th of July. We couldnt have asked for a better 4th. From the time I was a kid, it has always been my favorite holiday, but living in Utah it has been more of headache for me rather than a celebration. Every year that I have lived here, anything you try and do is SO CROWDED and just pure CHAOS! This year we went to a little Idaho farm town, Melba, and finally got to experience the classic 4th of July for a change! Small town parade, followed by shopping at little booths and YUMMY carnival food! And, guess what, we got there 15 minutes before the parade started and got PRIME seats in the SHADE and all the candy thrown at us that we could possibly eat! We didnt have to go down there the night before and put out chairs to save our spot and still show up 6 hours before the parade! Anyways, sorry for the rant....I think we are going to have to make Melba a yearly tradition for our family, it was perfect. Thank you Scott and Lori for letting us tag along!

We spent 4th of July last year in Melba too. We just came for the fireworks. It was just me and the kids too. Travis was working the night shift.

We hope you make it an annual event. We have loved the Melba atmosphere for almost as long as we've lived here. You guys are welcome here any time you want.
