fun fourth

we had such a fun 4th of july! of course i didnt take a single picture and im so sad cause we did some really fun things. we had thursday and friday off of school and it was wonderful! jared had to work on thursday so i thought i would get all my homework done and out of the way while i was home all by myself... so naturally i didnt open my back pack once all weekend :)

friday we went to the sand dunes and played in the water and rode four wheelers with jared's family. it was a lot of fun! jared and i both got some sun on that day. i found a frog there and showed it to our niece charlee and she loved it! she held it and didnt want to put it back in the water when it was time to go.

Saturday we went to the parade here in rexburg with our friends trae and candice... afterwards we were so hot we decided to go back to the lake at the sand dunes. candice and i were just walking around when trae and jared told us to come over to them.. while they were looking for frogs to catch they happened to catch a salamander! it was pretty cool and we spent the next little while playing with it and digging a little sand castle for it... we all felt like 8 year olds again.

That night we went to jared's parents house in idaho falls and had a BBQ with trae and candice and played some card games and ladder ball. then we headed over to the fireworks. we had a pretty good spot and they were awesome like always.

I lied.. i got this one picture of us watching the fireworks :)

yes it was a cold night so we had to use a blanket!

and now it's back to school :( thank goodness there are only 3 more weeks left of the semester and then we are going on a MUCH NEEDED vacation to colorado to see my parents and sisters and im so excited!
