4th of July

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love it, everything about it.

We started the day out at the parade. Matt and I got up early and went to save the best spot on the parade route. At the very beginning, it is 4 blocks over from our house in IF, you get a lot of candy because it is the beginning, and we are done early because it is the first of the parade. We had fun and the little kids got a ton of candy!

Then Jennifer suggested we go float a canal in Rigby, which was probably the best part of the day. We get there and the water is a lot faster and deeper than normal. There was a little drop in that caused little rapids. Well I was determined to go over it and happened to go into a little late and got to a point where there was a bigger drop. I hot a rock and scraped and bruised my but and ripped my swimsuit. Then we hit a point where we could not get under a bridge because there was too much drift wood. My little brother got his legs sucked under the driftwood, that was a little scary, but it all turned out ok. Well we get out and the plan was to have Clifford's car at Rigby lake so that we would have a car to get to the other cars. Well Matt left his truck instead and left his keys in my brothers car. So there we were at Rigby lake with no ride to the cars and no keys. Well Jennifer is talking to some girls who are driving a Lexus and convinces them to drive 2 of us to the other cars. In the end it was quite funny and I think we would all do it again with the same crazy things happening. It was the funnest part of the day for me.

We then went to the fireworks, that was pretty fun. We sat a lot closer than Matt and I normally do so that was pretty cool. However, if we did not have Boggie on a leash we would have lost him. He got scared and tried to run. It was a bit scary!

We had a lot of fun. I love the 4th of July.
