Late 4th of July Pics

We went to Idaho this year for the 4th again. We had another fabulous time! Stephanie never disappoints on her hostess duties.Jared, Nini, Stephanie and Papa

Steph and Hans (I love that Steph got braces!)

Steph and Hans live in Melba, ID and it's a really cute, small town. They have a big 4th of July parade every year that many in the town are a part of. This is my niece, Katelyn who was dancing with her high school dance team. She's such a cute girl!

Jared did a lot of this while we were there!

We walked home after the parade. It's such a beautiful town. Here is my other niece, Jessie. She's amazing!

Here's their home. I love the style of it.

Rae was always with the horses.

Rae takes after her cousin, Katelyn, who is a huge horse lover! She does a lot with their horses. That week, she saddled the horses over and over so that my kids could have rides.

Jared's brother, John, joined us that week, also. Here is his daughter, Sophia, on the right with Lilly, Steph's daughter. They were best of friends that week.

Jared and Hans spent a small fortune on fireworks and their performance did not disappoint. It was breathtaking! In all seriousness...it was very entertaining!!!!

I didn't get any pics of Steph's huge 4th of July party she threw (like she does every year). The party included a giant bounce house, which the kids slept in that night.

We took a day trip in the mountains to an old town called Silver City. It was beautiful and had tons of charm. We had a fun day out there exploring.

There's Nini with Sophia, Syd, Nancy (John's wife) and baby Lyla.

This was an amazing old church that you had to hike up to. There were no stairs. It was really neat and when you got to the top, you could peek into the church and it was gorgeous inside!

My kids wish we would move to Idaho because they love the country and they love their cousins! I just wish we could get the Hansen's to move here to be close to us! We love you guys. Thanks for an amazing trip!!!
