4th of July




We spent the 4th of July in Pocatello with Wade's parents. We had such a great weekend.

Some of the highlights of our trip were... Swimming at the Ameritel, which Brooks and Kelsi both love to do with their Grandpa. Going to the annual Bell Family picnic at the park with all the extended Bell family. It is always fun to attend and catch up with cousins we don't see very often. Sitting in the front yard watching the fireworks from the fair grounds down the street. It was so nice to not have to fight the crowd. We had great seats and the fireworks were amazing. Doing a girls only lunch with Kelsi and Loa. Yummy Craigo's dinner, it was one of my favorite places to eat in Rexburg and now it is in Pocatello YEAH! Shopping, sleeping in, and enjoying some good visiting with Leonard and Loa.




This was Grady's first trip to Pocatello, or anywhere for that matter. He did good traveling and pretty good sleeping at night. His Grandma held him almost the entire weekend, so he was loving it!


My little fishies



Brooks pointing out the fireworks show. He did get a bit nervous and wanted to go inside, but soon he relaxed and enjoyed the fireworks.


Enjoying the firework show.

We could hear the National Anthem playing as the fireworks went off. I once again realized how grateful I am for my freedom and the blessing it is to live in this beautiful country.


Thanks Mom & Dad Bell for such a great weekend. It is always nice to be in your home and spend time with you.
