Happy 4th of July!

Celebrating the 4th of July is one of my favorite traditions!
(I know, I say that about them all!)

This year was extra special because Ella got to participate in
the Waukee parade with her WAC team.

After the parade, we had our annual pool party at
Grammy and Boppa's, followed by Fireworks!

Happy Birthday, America!

Getting ready, and staying cool before the parade.

Dave drove a truck that Hummel's so kindly loaned us!

I stayed cool inside the truck!

A blast was had by all!!

I can't resist an excuse to make some yummy desserts!
Avery has perfected the cannonball!


Avery was a little unsure about the sparklers.
I think we got her to try once, for a second!



The "Claires" have no fear!




Enjoying the fireworks!
