our 4th FESTIVITIES!!!


We all decided to do things a little differently this year.  Instead of staying at home and setting off the load of fireworks we would’ve spent money buying, we spent that money letting others pamper us and getting to watch a terrific show.  We drove up to Idaho Falls, ID for the BIGGEST firework display put on west of the Mississippi River.  Melaleuca puts on a wonderful program to celebrate this great holiday.  It was called the Melaleuca

Freedom Celebration.  It included a catered dinner (so super yummy), an hour of a beautiful live orchestra and pretty much front row seat off the river where they have the firework show.  What a memory we had together.  Thanks Nicole for thinking to bring glow toys and sparklers for the kids.  It even drew the attention of a magazine photographer that was there taking pictures.  Anybody find out the name of the magazine she was shooting for?  I bet our kiddos are in it. 



Hey, Derrin and Nicole, how did we get out of there without getting a family picture of you guys???   



Great day and night so full of fun from the hike all the way down to the late hour of getting back up to Rexburg and through the parking lot of cars going there too.

Looks like a great way to celebrate :)

I'm still amazed that none of the kids fell in the river. That would have made the night truly a family story for the ages.
