Part III...Reunion and 4th of July

We headed back to Idaho Falls so we could attend our family reunion and celebrate the 4th of July. We started the week with the reunion at a cabin near Cave Falls, near Yellowstone. We had an absolute blast! There was everything you could ask for, other than not being quite long enough!

We started out visiting Mesa Falls, later Cave Falls, and just playing and lounging at the cabin. We loved every moment of it!



On our walk to Mesa Falls, we found some drinking fountains that made wonderful waterfalls for playing!

Lots of hot tubing with all the cousins!

Plenty of 4 wheeling for all!

This is the John Scoresby clan, give or take a few!

We loved playing in the water at Cave Falls! Many adventures were had there, and lots of good memories!

There was so much more we did at the cabin, just playing games, eating, eating, and eating! Even if I do speak for myself!

After the cabin we returned to Idaho Falls to celebrate the 4th. It was the coldest 4th I can ever remember! Hot chocolate, blankets, hats, crazy weather!

There should have been more floats like this!
Trying to keep warm! Luckily it warmed up later on in the day!
We flew Chad in for the weekend to be with us! So glad he was there!
Gavin's becoming more outgoing all the time! In this pic, he walked over to my mom and asked to be held! That was HUGE for the little guy!

After the parade we had a BBQ, time to veg, and then we went down to the river by the temple to watch fireworks. The kids are tyring to kill time until the fireworks by downing handfuls of popcorn!
Hallie's not a fan of the large, loud fireworks, so when the fireworks finally started, she found a blanket on the ground, laid down, rolled herself up in it, and went to sleep! Didn't hear a peep until morning!
We really loved our time away in Idaho and Wyoming! Nothing flashy, or expensive, just tons, and tons of memories, laughter, and fun! We can't wait to do it again!
