We were in Rexburg this year for the fourth of July. We still wanted to have fun with the kids even without family so we spent some of the day at the park and played outside for a lot of the day. There was a parade in the morning, and we considered going to it, but never did! Just the thought of being in the hot sun (there is like no shade on mains street) and being around so many people wasn't very appealing. So we just stayed inside, and got our patriotic clothes on and walked to the park to play.
Playing outside was sure fun for Boston! He loves outside and the park and running around, so he was in his element.
We decided to cool off with some popsicles after the park! I hardly let him have popsicles because they are such a sticky mess, but it was so hot and it was a holiday so I figured, "Why not?" And he loved it. Of course he still made a stick mess but that's what little boys do.
We also had our own little "barbecue". Since we don't have a grill we had to do it inside with hotdogs, corn, chips, and watermelon! Such a delicious summer treat! It was yummy and after dinner we decided to take Boston outside to have fun with some sparklers and "pop-its"! Our neighbors and friends were outside as well so we all kind of congregated over by their apartment and let the kids play with the "pop-its" which the just couldn't get enough of!
Our friends actually got some "big" fireworks which the kids loved to watch go off! But they still would have rather had more "pop-its" to throw! We bought five boxes and they just blew through them so fast! But it was fun to watch them have so much fun! We ended the day with watching some really big fireworks from the fairgrounds (which were live about 2 blocks from) and were able to seem them from our front lawn.
