Madison's first 4th of July was a BLAST (like firework BLAST...KABOOM!)! We very spontaneously ended up on the hill above campus watching the stadium fireworks that weekend. We attempted to have a cookout up Green Canyon, but the mosquitoes were horrendous and Lily, our chihuahua, literally faked death for some attention. We hastily packed up and were on our way back in to town to take her to the vet or bury her if we were too late when she magically revived. So we finished our cookout in a beautiful hidden park in the middle of town instead. On the actual 4th, Monday, we decided to head out to Newton Reservoir to go fishing but it was so nutso with all the holiday fishers that we just kept on driving. We ended up in exotic Preston, Idaho. Neither Matt or I had ever been there and it was actually quite a delight. We laid a blanket out in a park and relaxed with our drinks and treats. That night we went out to Hyrum to watch the fireworks with Josh and Lindy. The "boys" (grown men, but you'd never know) had a riot blasting each other with fireworks in the driveway. It was SUCH a relaxing, wonderful weekend. We HEART America, holidays, and good family fun!
