Let Freedom Ring!

It was a wonderful 4th of July. The weather was much colder than any of us could remember. Who would think you would need a sweater for an afternoon 4th of July parade. We started at the Waukee parade. Here is Lauren, so excited for the parade to finally start (it was a little longer wait than expected)...

Lauren and Celie Gardiner patiently waiting with Clayton...

Then we went back to our house to join more friends. Here is Lauren with Connor McCoy taking a break on the deck. I love her excitement...

Enjoying the cool weather...

And finally sparklers!!! Followed by Waukee fireworks which we were able to watch from our backyard!!!
