4th of July in Challis

We spent the 4th of July weekend in Challis with my sister, her husband, three boys, my Mom, and bro-in-laws family. We all had a blast. The weekend was filled with BBQ's, swimming/water fights, kids running around, a parade, and fireworks. I feel like a bad Mom admitting this, but Carter's hand got burnt with a sparkler. :-( He held the first one and did great, but then when he was given the second one he grabbed it too high, since it's kind of a hard thing to pass to another person, and got burnt. It was very sad. However, everyone was extremely worried about him and so kind. We got some tea tree oil on it right away and he was fine. Turned out the next day he had a couple of blisters on his palm. Still, note to self not to give a 2-year old a sparkler. His trust in us as parents for the word "HOT" is probably gone. Regardless, we had a great weekend.

 Go Jakob!
 This is Brett's nephew Hudson. He is just 2 months younger than Carter and a little fireball. Love him!
