Back to the 4th of July

We are usually in Idaho Falls with the Webb family, but this year since I was due soon after, we had to stay in AZ for the 4th. It's really not the same if you've ever celebrated in Idaho Falls - that place knows how to celebrate the 4th!! Multi-city parade, flags everywhere, firecrackers going off days before the 4th, BBQ, ward breakfasts before the parade and to top it off: THE BEST FIREWORKS SHOW WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. (just ask anyone from Idaho - this is what they will tell you.) :) It really is a great show - on the Snake River, nice weather and good company. We usually get to spend time with Risenmay extended family as well since Grandma Risenmay lives across the street from the Idaho Falls Temple and walking distance to the river for the fireworks.

Feeling a little bummed we were missing our family and friends, we decided to visit our friends (Pete & Angie) who had recently moved to Ahwatukee - not too far away. Their community has great pools and a firework show on the golf course. So off we went and had a great time - the weather was comfortable and not too crowded. Thanks Sorensens!! (no relation to my family though...)

A little pre-fireworks dance party. :) Turn on your speakers to hear the music (Jeff and Angie were doing the robot, but I missed getting it recorded...next time!)
