Lovely Summer Activities...

.... It's so hard to see summer go here in Idaho Falls. As it cools down, you have to start thinking about how long it will take to warm up again! But we had a wonderful summer, so we'll savor it here on the blog.

Here's A zonked out in the high chair-- I think she's eating toast with jam.  Feliz Navidad.

 

Here's our fledgling garden with the beautiful Ammon foothills in the background. We signed up for a spot at the Church garden. It was a great (though humiliating) learning experience. It was starting to get weedy here, and we never managed to get it quite weed-free. But it has produced some lovely produce, though probably not as prolifically as it could have sans weeds. Oh well. We'll just be grateful.

In early July, James's sister, Rachel, came to see us, and since she wouldn't be with us for the Fourth, we decided to take her to the July 2nd fireworks in Driggs. We went via Jackson Hole, so we could eat pizza there and take pictures in front of the antlers (not our best navigating, but the pizza was wonderful).  

The fireworks were part of a patriotic rally at a golf course with Glenn Beck as the guest of honor. You may or may not know how James feels about Glenn Beck, but here's a clue. His speech ended up being actually quite palatable, what we heard of it anyway.

The golf course itself was idyllic with the soft, grassy hill and the sunset. The kids had a great time rolling and playing in the grass.

 Just like a lion ready to pounce...



Harris and the Tetons. 




                                              Races!

 Lots of tickle monster going on....

Anna loved the long row of flags to swish about in.

And then there were fireworks.....

On the actual Fourth of July. We watched the parade and did some sparklers. (Note Will's enthusiasm for the parade.)
