Cedar Falls, Iowa-Day 5-Thursday- 4th of July

 We started our day out with going to Independence, Iowa for a parade.  We just got on the tail end of the parade.  The town says 'We celebrate Independence Day not just observe'.

 Activities in the park.  Henry got stuck in the bounce house and the worker had to go rescue him.  Oliver loved all the activities. 

Cute houses, red barns, rolling hills, unique churches, beautiful river.  It is really beautiful and green  in Iowa.

Ashley arrived today.  The kids were so excited to see her as well as we all were.  She gets in and plays with the kids and they love that.

Waiting for dinner at the Texas Roadhouse.

Waverley, Iowa.  Such fun little towns all over.

Shell Rock, Iowa.  This is the town we went to to watch the fire works.  It was right on the  river also.

4th of July fireworks.  Shell Rock really put on a show.  I an so thankful for all our freedoms and grateful to all the people that have made it possible.
