4th of July in Boise

So Lincoln's tongue is amazingly all better. It looks great. Who would have thought it happened less than a week ago?

Anyways I stole some pictures off of my sisters facebook account of our trip. We had a blast. It was super duper relaxing, we ate amazing "bad-for-you" food (try Five Guys twice and homemade hamburgers once) , and celebrated the 4th with a bang. Oh and I fell in love with my parents raspberry patch all over again. Its as organic as you can get, since they do absolutely nothing to them and never have. I can't wait to plant a bunch in our yard.

We fed the ducks at the park. The baby geese were pretty fiesty and scary. I only fed the ducks. :)


A cake I threw together for America's birthday. My mom's idea :)


Dad is the master barbequer


We couldn't resist those ginormous marshmallows they are selling this year. They were good, but I was done after one!


Lincoln like REALLY loved this fake dog at my parents house. He kept going over to it and petting it.


They always play best when they are playing in the dirt

anticipating his lunch. "yummy yummy yumMMMMM!"

having fun going down the slide. a LOT of fun

the park had a chalk art contest the day before. these two were my favorite. amazing!


if you know Easton even just a little bit you will know that this is AMAZING. Thank you Julie for telling him that fireworks weren't all scary. we got only the quiet ones. Julie brought a couple of packs of fireworks from Japan that were pretty darn amazing. You held one end and lit the other and it was like a mini big fire work show. Does that make sense? Probably not. You could even do them inside they were so small. Super duper cool.
