Idaho Falls 4th of July

This year for the Fourth of July we went to Idaho Falls, ID to visit my sister Stefanie. My mom, sisters and me threw her a surprise baby shower for her sixth baby (a girl), with the help of my cousin Sommer and Aunt Sonja. Thank you!
The trip didn't start off with much of a "bang". We stopped overnight in Wells on the way and did not have a very restful night with my two little boys that would not go to sleep. How could you be mad waking up to this sweet face after two hours of sleep? Luke was still all smiles.
On Monday we walked down to the end of Stefanie's street to catch the annual parade. Carson of course loved watching all the big trucks and floats go by. Boy were the streets packed too! I'm glad we didn't have to try and park and then get out after the parade was over.
Hey it's a tooth float! Maybe Jeff should look into this kind of advertising...
Just some pics after church.

All of the Bundy grandchildren.
After church me Jeff and the kids took a walk around the Idaho Falls Temple and snapped a few pictures. It was fun for us because this was the first temple we walked around together when we started dating around the same time 5 years ago.
On Saturday we rafted down the Snake River. This is something we try and do every summer we are in Idaho. It was especially fun because this was Jeff's first time down with the family. Since the river was flowing high and fast my brother in law opted on a paddle boat so we all just got to take in the beautiful scenery while he tried to get us wet with the 50 deg. water! Usually I like to get in and swim a little bit, but not this time.
Got to love Eric's enthusiasm.
Okay, and Jeff's too!

...and of course the famous Idaho Falls fireworks show (largest west of the Mississippi) starting at 10pm! What a way to end a fabulous weekend. This picture of Luke does not really show how big his eyes were open and intently watching the beautiful show of lights.
