Freedom.Fireworks.Family.Food.Fun
4th of July
The 4th of July is definitely one of my absolute favorite holidays to celebrate. I am proud to be a part of this great nation and I love celebrating what it stands for. How thankful I am for the many freedoms and liberties that I have been granted by living in this country. As I stated above, our day consisted of freedom, fireworks, family, food and lots of
fun!
Steve had just come off working a 24+ hr shift, but he was a great sport and took part in the celebration despite having had about 2 hrs of sleep. We always look forward to spending these holidays with our little family and this one was no exception. I love seeing my family all dressed up in red white and blue.
I sure do love this little trio--
and this little bum.
We went to the parade that afternoon, and despite the temps being well over 100 degrees--had a great time. I love the Waukee parade.
Despite the fact, that there is literally not one float in the entire parade....you do not go away empty handed. Steve and I have nicknamed it the "No float Candy Parade" because they throw out so much candy that you come away thinking it was Halloween. We even got bottled waters and popsicles thrown at us.
See for yourself--they were pretty proud of themselves with their haul.
After the parade, we headed home for a nice BBQ dinner and way too much food was consumed.
Then we went over to the park that evening for sparklers and fireworks.
The show was spectacular!
