We spent the 4th in Blackfoot at my parent's and sister's homes. It was a nice relaxing day for us. Jackson was excited for the fireworks because he had seen a few being set off around our neighborhood the previous evening. We had a BBQ at my parents and then the kids went swimming with their cousins at my sister's house before there was a brief rain shower. Then we helped churn homemade ice cream and enjoyed eating it. We had thought about going back to Idaho Falls for the big fireworks show, but ended up staying around my parent's for a home fireworks show.

My sister put some warm water in the baby pool for Abigail and pretty soon all the kids were hanging out in that one because it was starting to cool off and get ready to storm. As you can see it was sitting room only!
I had a kind of scary episode with Abigail during the swimming. She is very much a mommy's girl right now and tends to get even more clingy to my when we are around more people. Anyway, I gave her to my mom while I helped get Jackson dried off. She started crying as I expected, and then holding her breath. She had done this a little before, but always started breathing again before too long. This time she really started turning blue. She was blue around the eyes and blue from her nose to her chin. I took her back from my mom and I think she passed out briefly because she went a little limp although she never really went completely unconscious. She just laid in my arms for a while and then seemed to me fine. Kind of a scary thing for a mom though. Hope she doesn't make a habit of doing this.
Here is a picture of Abigail I took at the beginning of that day in her 4th of July outfit.
