Happy Fourth/Sixteenth of July

Ok this is really about the Fourth, but I'm a little (or a lot) slow. So you get it on the sixteenth. Lucky you!

We have been gone every weekend for the last who knows how many weekends, so we (or I) decided to stay home this time. We went to the ward breakfast and bike parade. I really wish I would have gotten a picture of this, it was too cute. The bike parade consists of all the kids bringing their bikes and decorating them with festive balloons and whatnots and riding around the parking lot. They were all so excited, especially the ones who had done it before. They could hardly wait for the breakfast to end so they could go decorate their bikes. Or scooters. Or whatever else they had with wheels on it - I think there was one kid in a little red wagon.

Turns out that I'm not very heat-tolerant when I'm pregnant. I spent most of the day on Saturday in the house with the A/C on and all the blinds closed to keep the heat out. Nick bbqed some steaks for us that afternoon. It was so good, I had to take a picture of it:

Isn't he so cute!

Later that night, when it finally cooled off a little, we went to the Boise Hawks baseball game. It wasn't a very exciting game, but I did get some ice cream. After the game, they lit fireworks. It was quite the production. There were even some synchronized flame bursts. Nick said they had some issues, but I like to think they did it on purpose. You know, to mix it up a bit. Everybody expects fireworks at a fireworks display, but no one expects flames.
