4th of July

For this 4th of July weekend, we went up to Ben's parents in Kuna. We took my brother Geoff with us because, as Ben says, everyone comes home to Kuna. It was a pretty busy weekend by Kuna-standards.

We went boogie-boarding in the canal near the house twice this weekend. For those of you not familiar with how it's done, here is a little video to demonstrate. Sorry it's all weird and skinny, it was taken with my phone.

Ben and Geoff enjoyed it the most, they did all kinds of tricks and stayed out in the freezing cold water for awhile. I just went once and that was enough for me.

We also showed Geoff around Boise and visited Ben's Grandpa in the Veteran's Home that he just moved into. On the 4th we went to the parade in Melba. Grandpa was the Grand Marshall in the parade, and he did an excellent job.

That night, we went to the famous firework show in Melba. Ben dressed up for the occasion.



Today's a pretty exciting day for us, Ben had a 3rd interview with KPMG. We should hear from them by next week (though how definite the response will be, we're not really sure). It's also my brother Josh's 18th birthday. And most importantly, it is finally the day of the ultrasound! Today at 4 we find out if we're having a boy or a girl (or one of each).
