4th of July celebrations

It was a blazin' hot day, which changed some of our mid-day plans, but we still had a wonderful family day. We started with the West Mankato Kiddie Parade. Lots of kids decorate their wagons, bikes, and dogs for the day. Bystanders throw some candy into the parade for the kids. We start at Dotson park with a color guard and fire truck. We said the Pledge of Allegiance and then the fun began. Both sets of grandparents, Auntie Krista and friend Aria, Daddy, and Woody watched as Mommy and Caleb walked through the parade.

Josh gave all his nieces and nephews a Lil Slugger hat and now he finally has his own Lil Slugger!

Afterward we hung out for a little while at home. Then we walked around the mall for a bit. From there we went to Oma and Grandpa's house for supper with family. Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles were all there to celebrate our nation's freedom.

Bubbles in water?!

I gotta try that!

Great Grandpa's!

Piano!

That feels great! I love being upside down!

I'm thirsty!
