For our family, July 4th represents the best of summer. We alternate between two traditions - camping at Priest Lake or heading to Idaho Falls. This year we are here in I.F. celebrating with a morning parade, family bbq and fireworks. Here are some of reasons our family loves the 4th of July:                                                                   
*there is nothing better than fireworks set to music (fireworks over the lake at the Hills or dancing to a live DJ at the marina at Priest or being along the river in Idaho Falls).
*parades - our family loves to attend parades (the Lilac parade in Spokane or the parade in Idaho Falls for the 4th).

                                         
*being with family - when we go camping it is so fun to be up at the lake for any lenght of time. This year we get to see extended family and attend a bbq at my Grandma Pratt’s place which she has hosted for years. Its a mini-family reunion.
*all day celebrations - it seems like so many holidays are celebrated after work. We love any type that begin in the morning and last all day and even into the night. There is nothing like an all day party!
*finding outfits in red, white and blue. Hey its fun to dress up!

We hope you have a great 4th of July!
