In July On the Fourth

The fourth of July is my favortie holiday, in July on the fourth. Okay, I stole that from Ryan, but it really is my favorite holiday. It was the first time Gregg and I were able to be in Idaho in years and it was one busy day. First, we headed to the parade in Rupert. Then, we headed to a yummy BBQ at Ed and Alpha's. Summer at their house are the best! Then, it was off to Blackfoot for our family reunion. Finally, we drove up to Idaho Falls for some really superb fireworks where we stayed the night at Curtis and Brenda's.

Family Lagoon Day

Even though the absence of blog posts would have you believe we have done nothing this summer, we have actually been very busy. I've managed to forget or have not wanted to pack around my camera so thankfully Brenda has had hers.
We planned a Lagoon Day the Monday before the 4th of July and it turned out really fun (for most of us anyway *wink, wink* Gregg).

Things learned at Lagoon
-Wicked really is WICKED and you WILL lose: sunglasses, cell phones, keys, and your mind.
-Wicked has a search for lost items at 3:00,7:00, and after it closes.
-Don't let friends ride roller coasters while holding your new iPhone. It will fall out and you will panic.
-Lagoon desperately needs little nets to put your belongings in.
-Gregg is human and can lose things just like his wife.
-Gregg's sunglasses are tough enough to survive a 4-5 story fall.
-Kelsey's phone is tough enough to survive a big fall.
-Lacey's sunglasses, although made to stay on your head, are not tight enough for bumper cars or Wicked.
-iPhone's have a GPS tracking app. (something I learned anyway)
-We would rather lose possessions than actual people.
