We had a great 4th of July. The neighborhood has a block party every year and many neighbors come and bring hundred's of dollars of fireworks. It was a cool evening and great for sitting and visiting after eating bbq hamburgers, hotdogs and pot luck. Judy and I always furnish the meat and buns and everyone else brings the rest.
These are just the legal ones, the ones in the air didn't show up. In Idaho you can buy illegal fireworks as long as you promise not to shoot them off here or Oregon. Needless to say, that doesn't work to well with anyone. But we are in a pretty safe neighborhood, not much dry grass area.
The next day Les went to the Northwest AutoFest. There were about 1500 cars there and that night they had a mini route 66 parade through downtown Boise.
People were a little better control than at route 66, it was really fun. We ate at an outside restaurant and and were able to sit there all evening. There was a little breeze and was shady so it was fun.
Boise is a college town, and there are a lot of bikers, and of course, a lot of posers, so I had as much fun watching people as cars. We got there about 6 pm and left about 10:30 so it was a nice evening.
Tomorrow we are going camping ATVing with friends from church and the neighborhood. Mom has people coming to visit and the hospice nurse will stop by. This is a trial seeing if we can leave her long enough to go visit family some time.
This is John, Connor 14, Gabe 9 and Griffith almost 7
Meadow and Cambria had a great time together, they are 7. I think their favorite thing to do was play in the sprinklers.
I know this is a lot, but he is so cute and we won't see him for awhile
Going to church. Left to right: Mason 5, Roxy young, Gunner 2 months, Hunter 5, Grandma young at heart, Cambria 7, Meadow 7, Johnny 9 and of course Salsa. Josh wasn't quite ready.My favorite thing was when Hunter asked Great-Grandma Udy what made her so great.
Snake River Stampede: They all had a great time! How could you not with cotton candy?
Of course a rousing game of Wii was fun for Johny, Hunter and Mason
Cambria loves lemons! We went to Primo's all you can eat Pizza and she ate a couple of pieces of pizza, then filled her plate with broccoli with cheese, mandarin oranges and lemons.
We just got back from a camping ATV trip to Warm Lake Idaho. It's about 30 miles east of Cascade. Deep in the forest is a place called Molly's tubs. There is a hot springs there and people have left bath tubs.
There are hoses from the spring that brings hot water into the tubs. It's about the temperature of a hot tub. It was a hot day so we didn't get in even though we did bring suits. The water fills up quickly and the view is great. I don't know how it got it's name.
There's beautiful meadows everywhere. This is a place we would love to go again.
The sad thing is they had a terrible fire up there last year and much of the forest was burned.
