For the 4th of July John and I got to travel back to Maple Valley and spend some much needed time with both sides of our family. We went to John's parents Al and Roberta's house for an afternoon of tamale making and just some relaxing fun. John and Al spent some time playing horse shoes in the new horse show pit the Al recently made. They have to cover the sand pits or else kitties find it and leave little presents!
That weekend we also got to spend some time with my side of the family, the Neilsons and had a chance to celebrate my grandpa Lavaughn Neilson's 80th birthday! Not too much of the family were able to come out to Ocean Shores to celebrate with us, but we had a good time and got to watch fireworks at the beach! We had a campfire and John got to let his pyro side shine. This first picture is my grandpa with my Aunt Karen holding his yummy birthday cake!
We all sang Happy Birthday and needless to say Grandpa was embarrassed but you could tell he loved every minute of it! We had to leave right after the fireworks at 10:30 PM to drive back to Maple Valley since we had a long 12 hour drive ahead of us on the 5th to make it back to Rexburg in time for school Monday morning. It was a really fun trip and lots of memories were made.
