4th of July!

Since Bryce and I got married we've celebrated the 4th of July with my side of the family. My parents have a place in Marsing, Idaho and each year we all get together for a mini family reunion. This year it was super short due to the holiday falling on a Wednesday. Oh well, we still had a blast. Marsing is a small town and for years they have had their firework show on the 3rd of July, and this year was no different. Each family arrived at different times Tuesday evening. My dad before leaving for work that morning made a family favorite dinner: pot roast, potatoes, and carrots. As everyone arrived we ate dinner and relaxed till going into town for the festivities. Every year in town by the river Marsing always has a band playing before the firework show begins. This year we were a little late getting there so we only heard the tale end of the concert. The firework show was amazing as always, and the kids enjoyed it too. Afterwards we went back and had a bonfire. I love sitting around the fire chit chatting with family and friends, it has always been a favorite activity of mine. We roasted marshmallows, and of course made smores. We tried something new too, instead of Hershey chocolate in the middle we tried peanut butter cups, so tasty. We also had our own firework show along with sparklers for the kids [and adults]. We went to bed around 2 in the morning. The next day we woke up early and all helped make breakfast. We had pancakes, eggs, and bacon. So yummy. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, playing outside, and enjoying each others company. We had a BBQ together before leaving to come back home to Boise. Overall we had a great 4th of July.

The moon was simply beautiful Tuesday night...
