Fun 4th of July weekend

My 4th of july was so fun. Travis took us up to his grandpas cabin in Island Park Idaho where his whole extended family came up to celebrate the holiday together. Our weekend was filled with boating, wakeboarding, 4-wheeling, and lots of other stuff thats too much to mention. We drove up thursday night and stayed till sunday night. We started the fun with a friday morning parade where we got pelted with candy I mean hit hard, they show no mercy when it came to throwing us candy lol. After that we got changed and went boating a little and on a small 4 wheeler ride with me and travis and jaxton around the loop where his granpas cabin is. Then me, travis, his little sister, and his dad went on a drive to find a tennis court to play but landed up at this cool sight seeing spot where there is a river so clear you can see all the fish swimming and a bridge you go over to look right in the water. That was really neat to see. We got home just in time to eat and head to the lake to watch the fireworks. That was the most amazing thing to watch. The fireworks going off over the water with the reflexion and all the boats in the water where a sight all on thier own. It was so beautiful. On Saturday travis took me on a very far 2 hour 4 wheeling ride on trails up in the mountains where I got bit by a million mesquitoes and got covered in dust and dirt but man I loved every minute of it it was SO fun! Then after we got back we did some more boating and this time I tried wakeboarding again and I did so good. I was so suprised I got up and actually rode for a long time before falling even travis said he didnt think I could do it that fast. That was alot of fun and alot easier then when I first tried last weekend behind a waverunner. On Sunday we got everything packed up and ready to go in the car and helped clean up. After that we had the imfamous badmitton tournament the Van Ordens put on every year. We each played to see where we fell in the roster. I got 11th place but thats not too shabby for only my second time ever playing. Then after a nice sunday dinner we said our good byes and left to come home. All in all this weekend was alot of fun and I cant wait for next year...! Here are some pictures I managed to snap while 4 wheeling with travis and a couple of the cabins around his grandpas, but i'll have to post the wakeboarding pictures later when my mother in law sends them to me. I didnt get alot of pictures while we were there because we forgot our camera. I know stupid of me.
