We started our celebrations the day before with the kids playing in the 'foam' at the park in Soda Springs --Laex had a blast (as you can see), Loa wasn't half as enthused!
On the 4th, we all experienced our first parade here in SE Idaho (side note: in our area there are a bunch of little towns within 30 min. of each other, so each town kinda takes a holiday to celebrate so that it's not a competition --all of the 4th of July activities are held in Soda Springs)--The parade was pretty much a bunch of dance teams & fancy pick-up trucks advertising businesses, it did however last a whole hour. It would've been a pretty boring hour except for the fact that everyone threw LOADS of candy (my kids filled a grocery bag) --I joked with LeGrand that this is the only reason they keep people interested :) [LeGrand had to work but got to join us for part of the parade]
We were planning to attend the firework show that evening in Soda Springs but because of the fire danger the show got cancelled so we got together with our awesome (and only) neighbors the Johnson's - had a fun BBQ & put on our own little firework show.
