Friday, July 10

{ for the red white and blue }

The 4th of July this year was spent with the fam in Idaho. So much fun. My holiday weekend in pictures.

We started our vacation off by going off-roading. The Simon's mini van didn't fare so well against the land cruiser.




Lucky for us the truck driver from Adventures in Babysitting happens to live in Island Park. Not only did he help pull the van out with the tractor he meraculously got back his second hand instead of a hook.



After the short delay it was off to Yellowstone. We saw many a buffalo and elk and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.




Dad and I loved the ride.


And we ALL were obviously happy to be there.


Steve even stared death right in the face (La da dee da da do. Goule. Nature!).


The next day we hit the Bear and Wolf Discovery Center and got up close and personal with wildlife.







But not after we all got our hair did...happily of course.


... And asking Aunt Lisa for multiple pieces of gum.


On the 4th we started the day with a 10K and 5K.



Lindsey kick my trash and every other woman in the 10K. She came in first and is five months prego.


We ended the day with fireworks with the locals in Idaho.


Scottie got down. A tribute to MJ himself.


Kylie was a little scared in the beginning...



...But loved the show in the end.


All in all it was a super fun trip with the Johnson fam. Thanks to my parents for putting together such a fun weekend. Gotta love them.

First off, I didnt kick your trash! Next, dont be hatin' the mini-van. Just cause we got stuck this time doesnt mean we will get stuck when we go off-roading in Moab :)j/k I love that last pic of mom and dad. Remember, this was after a weekend with the grandkids (lol)!
