Fourth of July in Boise

We decided to do a road trip to Boise for the Fourth of July. Thursday morning we loaded up the car and started the drive. We decided to take a slight detour and see Yosemite. It was my first time being there and Ryan hadn't seen it since he was little.

We were lucky we decided to go on Thursday, because once the weekend hit, the roads in and out of Yosemite would be packed.

Here are a few shots of Yosemite. It was gorgeous. We want to plan a camping trip there really soon.

Yosemite Valley

Bridalveil Fall

El Capitan

Do you see the bear? (the little brown dot in the center)

Yep that is snow you see.
We also saw it on the road as we drove out of Yosemite.

Saturday morning, we went to the Boise July 4th parade.

Heidi and her family came up from Ogden to spend July 4th with us

After the parade, we took a tour of the newly remodeled capitol

It was beautiful inside and out

The next day we had a BBQ, visited some of Ryan's friends and went to see the fireworks. They were awesome, except Sadie hated them.

Monday, we packed up and left for California. It was a short but nice trip.
