Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!!

We had a fun day celebrating our nations birthday. We went to the Waukee City parade and after party. The kids loved the parade. Cole was in heaven with the fire trucks, tractors, vintage cars, motorcycles, and big trucks...and Ellie just stuffed her mouth with candy the whole time :) It was hot, of course, but it wasn't too humid today. It was a great parade!! The party at the park afterward was fun, but we were too hot to stay too long. We decided to go home and cool off with our patriotic popsicles. Here are some pics of our fun day:

Poor Daddy had to study the whole day and missed all the fun. His first board exam is tomorrow. Good luck Ben!!
Now we are waiting for the fireworks to start. What a fun, relaxing and perfect holiday!
