4th of July

It was picture perfect weather for all our 4th of July festivities.

First, we headed over to Grandpa Craig and Grandma Char's

where Aunt Andrea demonstrated some water rockets for us.

Aubrey got to "pull" the chord to let it rip!

Then it was off to Bussey for their parade.

Everyone waiting for the parade to start.

All 5 Kaisand grandkids - it doesn't get much better than this pose

Daddy and Avery enjoying the parade (and a tootsie roll)

Mommy's turn with Avery

Aubrey had lots of fun grabbing the candy

and Daddy moved up with Avery so she could grab a few, too.

Then it was off to the park to play and have lunch.

Kailey and Aubrey had to go down together, of course.

Grandma Char took Avery up the playground, too.

After lunch and Sno Biz, we came home and took naps

 until it was off to our next adventure - the Lucks for swimming and supper!

Daddy and the girls enjoying the water.

Avery LOVED the warm pool

and flying high with Daddy! 

Aubrey had fun with her friends.

Mia as Elsa and Aubrey as Anna :) FROZEN friends

Then Mommy and Avery came home early 

for a bath and "nap."

Daddy and Aubrey got to watch some 

fireworks blown off at the Luck's backyard.

Then we all headed to Osky Christian's field

to watch the Oskaloosa FIREWORKS at 10 p.m! 

Aubrey of course loved them and Avery

kept saying "boom! boom!" and giggling :)
