Carter's Celebration and Fourth of July Activities...

Christy invited us to her home in Twin Falls to celebrate the Fourth of July and also to celebrate Carter's third birthday. Although his actual birthday was on June 24, because they live in Twin Falls, we waited until the fourth to celebrate. It was a beautiful day, the weather couldn't have been better. Christy really tried to make sure that it was a nice day for everyone. There was good food, diet pepsi, good company, and fun, and you know how I feel about that...things couldn't be better.

Shawn and Christy have a beautiful yard and the kids had fun playing on the swingset/playhouse, on the trampoline, and in the pool. It was just casual relaxing fun. After dinner we had a small celebration for Carter and My Mom, her birthday is Monday. They shared a cake and blew out the candles together. Carter was so cute when he opened his presents. He opened a gift from The Hunsaker's first and that was all he needed. He got fixated on the small skateboard and all he wanted to do is play with it. He was perfectly content with that gift. Had we all known then we would have just let Shellie bring the gift! With some coaxing he finished opening the other gifts.

After the cake was served Shellie and I came back to Pocatello...We knew that Shawn was going to light fireworks and decided not to partake in his pyromania...We didn't want a felony on our records for lighting illegals and burning down Twin Falls. Of Course, I am teasing. I took a nap when I got home and was going to go and watch Pocatello's firework display but I thought that it started at 10:30 and it actually started at 10:00 p.m. Bummer for me! What I saw from my car looked pretty. Our neighborhood was quite lively, I think I finally stopped hearing fireworks somewhere around 2:00 a.m. All in all it was really a nice day. I hope that everyone enjoyed their day too.
