4th of July

This year has been the first year since we got married that Jeff was not on duty during the fourth of July yeah! The best part is that Bay is that bay is not a newborn with colic and he is old enough to enjoy fireworks. Last year was a pretty tough year for me since bay was so miserable with colic. Since Jeff had the holiday off we decided to go down to Twin Falls and spend the day with Jeff's family. We got there in the afternoon and stayed until late that evening. We were able to visit with Jeff's grandma, his parents, and Candace Chad and Emma.
That afternoon we went to the old part of downtown and walked along the businesses and looked at lots of handmade quilts that there displayed in the windows. Now I don't know how to sew at all but I definitely can appreciate the had work that went into those amazing quilts. After the quilt walk we went back to house and had BBQ burgers and the traditional 4th of July trimmings. After dinner we visited and Jeff's family watched bay for a bit while Jeff and I went for a drive down into the canyon in the Jeep. I miss our Jeep but appreciate Jeff's parents taking care of it for us. When we got to the river Jeff decided to jump in and convinced me to do the same.
It felt so good.
After our Jeep ride we returned back to the house to visit some more and decide our plans for the evening. The College of Southern Idaho puts on a firework show every year at the college that we were going to watch from Jeff's parent's roof but the neighbors tree was perfectly placed right in the way so we gave up on that idea pretty fast. Instead we did some fireworks out front of their house.
Bay was mesmerized by the colors and the noises, he loved them! We had a great fourth of July!
