Fourth of July 1997

well with the fourth of July coming up this week i just wanted to post a few pictures from my most beloved childhood family memories. I treasure all our family outings to Idaho but this one was by far my favorite. Me and Alex love to sit and watch the home movies from this particular trip. For those of your forgetful ones this is the year that Bruce and Vanisha bought Ivan for Jake. We also went to Lava hot springs for the day and floated the river and swam in the pool. Do you remember the bruises jake had from jumping off the diving board. The guys all went fishing ( Jeralds catch of the day is above) while the rest just hung out. We went on lots of hikes one with a very scared Nathan. The pictures above are of us dancing to the Macarena and Girls just want to have fun. Still to this day if i hear girls just want to have fun i think to this memory. I miss all our old family memories but im glad that we still remain close. I think old memories seem more fun just because i was younger but now im grown. I can't wait till August when we all get to go up for the reunion. Idaho is one of my favorite places. I think I love it even more because I know how much the place meant to grandpa and how he loved us all going up and enjoying part of his childhood. Well hopefully this strikes some fond memories for you as well. I love you all and hope you have a great fourth of July. Good luck to Madi who will be dancing away just like you are above as such a cute little girl. We love you and wish we could all be there for you. Make us proud! And to the rest of you, ya better be at Melissas celebrating it with the rest of us.
