4th of July 2013

**Picture Overload!!**
This year we were once again away from Idaho Falls and our family for the 4th of July, which made me sad since we love all our little traditions there. However we still had a pretty good day, and pretty low key! We started off the day with a pancake breakfast and program at the church which was fun and delicious. For the last couple of songs all the kids were able to come up and pick a musical instrument to play during the songs, which of course they all loved!

After the program they got to have fun playing with water balloons! It started out like this...

 ...but that only lasted like 20 seconds and then turned to a full blown water balloon fight!!

After the breakfast we came home and just relaxed, ate some lunch and took a nice nap! We had bought some headphones for the boys for our upcoming trips and so they wanted to try them out...

We were really wanting to do something else fun and I found a good GREAT deal at Sky High Sports, a really cool trampoline park in Santa Clara. The boys haven't ever been to one, but I always thought they would love it since well they are boys and are always jumping around on our couches! After 4 pm tickets were only $4/person per hour, they are normally $12/person per hour!!! Not only that, Tyler was actually FREE!!! We only needed to stay an hour because it was pretty warm in there and they tired themselves out! We were afraid it was going to be super crowded, especially with those prices, but it wasn't at all!

 I even jumped a little! I couldn't last very long before the combination of heat and jumping started making me a little nauseous, so I just stuck to taking the pictures!

 The boys really loved jumping into the foam pit!!

 You can really tell how tired Tyler is in this picture!! lol

When we were done here we went and got Jamba Juice with our buy 1 get 1 free coupon and then went home and showered and got the boys ready for bed. And then of course 4th of July isn't the same without fireworks!! The only firework show we knew of that was somewhat close was San Francisco and we didn't really want to drive all the way up there so we just drove up on the hills by our house and found a great view of the entire city! Even though they are illegal here everyone still did all the big fireworks and we could see them all around! We stayed there for about a half hour, which was plenty anyways, until the cops drove by and made everyone leave because it was apparently a private drive! haha Oh well, we at least got our fix right!? All in all it was a fun day!!
