4th of July

For the 4th we had brunch at Grandma M.'s and went to the parade in Windsor Heights. Keira had lots of fun waving to the people on the floats and chasing candy. Her older cousins were there to help with the candy collection and the girls had quite the haul when we were done.


Several of the floats were giving away Popsicles and bottled water and one of the fire trucks had his soaker hose full of water but it was so chilly we were all wearing sweaters! Didn't stop the kids from enjoying the bomb pops!


Afterwards we went over to the carnival in Urbandale. They had lots of rides and games. Paige and Justine went on some of the spinny rides with Keira since they all have the iron stomachs. Keira rode the cars by herself and went down the giant slide with Mom.

She played the duck game and fishing game and won some prizes. She really liked the fishing game and I think she would have happy to stay there for an hour.
