We packed about as much fun as you can have in one day on the 4th of July. The 4th is Jeremy's birthday and this year he invited me to go on a bike ride with him. Thanks to my spinning classes, I did a pretty good job of keeping up. We took a ride to Mesa Falls. My parents met us there later in the morning with the kids. The mosquitos were hungry and I got covered in bites, but it was a beautiful way to spend the morning.
For lunch, Jeremy wanted to go to Big Jud's. It is a burger place. They are famous for making a one pound burger. If you can eat the whole burger, eat all your fries, and finish your drink, they take your picture and put it up on a wall. Brady decided to take the challenge.
But once he got near the end, he decided that just finishing the burger was a big enough accomplishment.
After lunch we went to a brand new water park in Rexburg. It was a really great family place. Annie did not like the water at first, but Lily jumped right in and loved playing with Brady, Puna, Papa, and Daddy. Mommy was pretty busy keeping Annie happy.
We left the water park in barely enough time to get ready for Jeremy's birthday party. I made Cafe Rio sweet pork, and grilled chicken and set up a build your own taco bar. I also made patriotic rainbow Jell-O and red-white-and-blue layered drinks. I was so frantic running around getting everything done that I didn't get to enjoy much of the party or get pictures of everything. But Jeremy said it was a wonderful party and I think everybody had fun. We had my cousins and some of their friends over. I made Jeremy's favorite tres leches cake and my mom made my favorite angel food cake with lemon icing. Water and fireworks were a big hit with old and young alike. My dad went all out buying fireworks. Lily talked about them for days afterward.
Happy 4th to everyone and happy birthday to a great daddy and husband.

We were in Rexburg on the 4th too! Weston's parents live across from the waterpark. It really looked busy and we didn't make it there I hope you had fun! We'll try the waterpark another time when it is not so full.
