The 4th of July in Salmon

This past weekend we planned on going to a Williams family reunion. It ended up being moved to a different date but Steve took time off so we wanted to go somewhere. We ended up going to Salmon. It was supposed to be a four hour drive but due to construction it ended up being five! Good thing we bought the DVD player right before we left:)


There was a ton of deer. Every morning they would always be in the pasture right outside the cabin. Lucas had fun watching them, especially so close!


We went to the parade they had there. Lucas had a great time watching all the big trucks and of course the candy!



Later after the parade we went to the Sacajawea center. They had a nature walk with different posts to stop at and read about the history of that area.

On the fourth we decided to go check out Williams Lake, which my sister heard was good for boating and was only 15 miles away. Lets just say we ended up going 15 miles up in the mountains on dirt roads to get to it. It was totally worth it when we got there. Imagine traveling far into the mountains and then finding this lake surrounded by them. Of course I didn't bring my camera so we took a couple with Steve's cell.

Later that night we did our own fireworks display and waited until 10:30 for the city's to start. Lucas was so worn out from the day but stayed up long enough to try out some sparklers:)
We had a a really great time and ended up taking the scenic way home. I love living in Idaho and going to all its different beautiful places.
