4th of July

We had a great fourth of July yesterday. It was busy and lots of fun. We started out going to the Rexburg parade and seeing all the fun floats and people that were there.

We actually saw one of my friends/old roommates on one of the floats. She teaches gymnastics at a gym here in Rexburg, so the float was a big trampoline that they were doing cool tricks on. That is her on the trampoline in the pictures below. Taking a picture break while waiting for more of the paradeAfter the parade we came home just long enough for me to make a pasta salad and then we headed over to the ward BBQ. It was lots of fun and we were there for about three hours.
Cameron helped the some of the little kids play baseball before we ate. After we ate and chatted for a while, all the guys decided to start a game of soccer. I sat and watched with all the moms on the sideline. And since I didnt have a child of my own to watch while my husband played, one of the dads gave me his little boy on loan until his mom got there. Still playing and it was HOT!
After we left the BBQ we went back home to eat dinner and just hang out for a little while before we left for the rodeo. I think the rodeo was the best part of the day for both Cameron and I. There were lots of crashes and spills and it was also Cameron's first rodeo. I took lots of vidoes at it and, but they are all pretty good (and short) so I put them all in.
They do the "muttin bustin" at the beginning before the actual rodeo starts and I think Cameron was really nervous for each one of the little kids that came out on one of those crazy sheep. We were both a little worried when one of the sheep ran straight toward the fence and smacked the kid's head right into it.
Enjoying his first rodeo experience

This is mine and Cameron's favorite video. He gets some serious air at the end (but don't worry, he was ok).




I tried to take a picture of the pretty sunset, but it doesn't really do it justice.

The end of a fun-filled fourth of July. And what better way to end than with fireworks?
