4th of July celebration at Huntsman Springs

Happy 4th of July in a couple days.  We went to Huntsman's Springs, Driggs ID area on Saturday for a day full of fun to celebrate the 4th.  It's nice that they have the event on Saturday.  It was a really awesome event.  The entire show was free, except the food.  They had about 20 bouncy houses, an Airshow, a Carshow, a BMX stunt show, a Hypnotist show, etc.  It was a hot day, but I actually didn't swell too bad being 9mo. pregnant.  There were a lot of people, but everyone was nice and considerate.  The evening show was filled with a live band, speakers, and then an awesome fireworks show.  It was very patriotic which I thought was good for the kids to understand the importance of why we celebrate the 4th of July.   The Huntsman family were also raising money for a cure for cancer, so they spoke about that, and it was touching to hear some stories.   I think this will be a new tradition for us to go every year.  


 The kids stayed out of the sun sitting in the wagon.
 Watching the airshow.
 This Oakley plane was doing a lot of stunts. 
 Carson wanted to try the bungy run.  It was funny to watch him be so determined to run far before he got pulled back.
 Kids got facepainting.  Shelby is showing off her butterfly.

 Carson wanted to try the bull riding bouncy.  He wanted to go slow and I kept saying go faster.  He didn't get tossed off like some of the kids did.  We waited in line for a 1/2 hour for this ride, but I guess Carson thought it was worth it.
 After all the activities we went back to our spot and waited for the evening activities to start.  We got to hang out and relax for a few hours after being in the sun all day.

 Huntsman's Springs is really pretty and right here you see the Teton mountains. 


 Watching the fireworks show.  Which was AWESOME!!

Shelby got a little scared so she came to sit with her Daddy where she watched the rest of the show. 

We had a great time.  I'm really glad that we went even with how huge I am and ready to have a baby anyday.  I'd rather be doing something fun with the family then sit at home and wait for her to come.  The kids had a good time.  And at least we got to do something for 4th of July since on the 4th I think I'll be home with a newborn.
