I have to say that the 4th of July is a time when I miss my extended family almost more than Christmas. I have so many memories of the 4th on the lake with rootbeer, watermelon, the dock decorating contest, swimming races, lawn darts, family barbecues, boat rides, sleeping out on the lawn, and awesome fireworks. 4ths in Boise are a whole lot hotter, not so much water, but still lots of friends and family. We started off this morning with the Annual kids bike parade and breakfast that was instituted a few years ago by a favorite friend Katie (we miss you). Isaiah was happy that he managed to beat his papa to the end even though papa was racing as fast as he could go....you can see by the expression on his face!
Then we enjoyed a great pancake breakfast with so many fantastic friends and neighbors! The neighborhood kids all showed their patriotic spirit! Now we are off to a relaxing float down the Boise River and still deciding on whether we will brave the crowds for a fireworks show tonight! Wherever we end up, we miss all those far away today!! Happy 4th!
This is the dynamic "MonaLisa" duo sporting their patriotic splendor!

WOW, your 4th looks more exciting than ours. Weather was "iffy" and Aunt Carol & Uncle Steve came up...I will leave it at that. We can see the fireworks that they shoot from the bay from our living room, so that was nice. Way to go Isaiah! Beating your Dad in a bike race. Love, Grandpa Chris & Nana
