Ameilya's First Independence Day and First Camping Trip!

For Independence Day this year we went to Burley/Rupert area and camped along the Snake River and hung out with Tyler's Uncle Randy and his family. We also got to go and visit Tyler's Grandma Beth (Noble) who is the namesake for Ameilya's middle name. She is in a care facility in Burley. We had such a great time doing all the things that we were able to do! Ameilya was a little fussy on The Fourth, she had a tooth coming through; she had just gotten her first tooth and within less than a week of that one showing up she popped another one through. We didn't think she would get another one so quickly!
Ameilya loved being outside and was a great trooper for the whole camping adventure, she even got to swim in the Snake River! The water was a little cold but I think we have a little fish on our hands so she didn't even mind at all!
She also loved the fireworks! Tyler was thinking that she would be really scared of them because they were so loud, but she totally loved them! We covered up her ears for part of the time so that the noise wouldn't be so loud for her but she started to fuss because she was annoyed that we were covering her ears! Silly girl! We could hardly believe that she wasn't scared of them!
We got to go to a friend of Uncle Randy's to celebrate. They had lots of food and desserts, home brewed root beer, smores for the kids, sparklers for everyone, tons of games to play before the fireworks, ice cream sandwiches for everyone, and the second best fireworks show that I have ever seen! (The best fireworks show we have ever seen was in Delaware when we spent the summer there when we were first married.) I think the fireworks show was better than the one that the City of Boise puts on every year! It was really that good! Don't know how we got so lucky :-)
Here are some pictures from our fun adventure!

I sewed this little "portable high chair" for Ameilya before we left, it sure came in handy!! You can just slip it over any chair and then it has a little strap that goes around her waist like a regular high chair and you tie it in back to keep her in it. Very convenient for traveling and also church!
