The Fourth

What a few couple of weeks it has been. The month of July is by far my favorite. Normally Carrie is the one to do these little updates but I figure I can help her out this month because it is my favorite time of the year. We started it off by taking the long boring drive to Idaho Falls for the Fourth of July. We have to be there every year because the fireworks are the best and the Menan softball tournament. Unfortunately this year we took second in that. It was a great tournament until we met a stingy daddy daughter team. From the get go it seemed as if fate was on their side. One seven run inning and we were in too big of a hole to come back. Carrie played great though picking up a couple of base hits that helped us climb out a little bit. We were all heart broken over the defeat but look forward to next year and redemption.

The pain of the lost tournament was soon forgotten when we went down to the river to watch the fireworks with the Bairds and the Hunters. It was a lot of fun walking around with Baby Addi and seeing her like or dislike of the fireworks. I was unsure of her true feelings. The fireworks as usual did not disappoint and we paid our respect to the late Wayne Richards. The fourth wasn't the same without him. All in all it was a great trip to Idaho Falls.
