4th of July Weekend

So since I can't travel very far away from Rexburg, being very large with child, Eric and I spent the fourth of July weekend within a two hour radius of Rexburg. On Friday we drove over to Mesa Falls and spent the day out in the "wild" with a couple from our ward. Saturday we had a barbaque and homemade icecream with the same couple we spent (the Bates). Friday with. Later that night we headed out to Idaho Falls to see the fireworks, they set them off by the Snake River (right next to the Temple). The Fireworks were pretty impressive, the traffic however was horrible, it took us one hour to just get out of the parking lot and onto the main road toward the highway. Over all we had a good Fourth of July despite the fact that we couldn't spend it with family.


The Bates got a camp site to stay at over night but I wasn't willing since Eric and I have no mattress and I would have had to get up at least three times during the night to go to the bathroom. However we did stay long enough to make tin foil dinners, s'mores and a super cool shelter thing because it started to rain :)




The pole reading is not entirely correct. Eric is tall yes but I'm not that short, the ground was not even at all.
