The 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We started the day off with the Rexburg parade which is pretty big and it lasted about 2 hours. Then we came home and had lunch and had naps then got ready for Island Park. Horse rides were all the girls were talking about for days and Brian because he knew that he would get me to ride. So we got up there and Brian was out on a ride, he had a good sized group. So the girls went with the Little's, Savannah and Lacey went first, when they got back Savannah didn't want to get off, so they loaded Dell on front of Russ Little's horse or little Russ (thats what dell calls him) and Sadie on her Grandpas horse and away they went. It was almost time to go to dinner and i thought that Brian would be late with his group, but as soon as the kids left here comes Brian and his group. I am starting to feel sick. So they get the people off the horse's and gone and I know whats coming. It's my turn to ride a horse. yes it was as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't jump off (Brian said he would tie my feet together under the horse) and i rode for 3 minutes according to Brian but it felt a lot longer. The girls loved the ride, they can't wait to go back.
Oh, and there was a grizzly bear in the park that day, and it was big i guess there were tracks everywhere.
Any way we went to a ranch and they had a little rodeo and a dinner then we drove home watching the fireworks. It was a fun 4th of July!
