3rd of July

Our annual 3rd of July tradition has been to swim at the Albert Lea pool with Dave's mom, then watch the parade with his family.  This year, Dave's cousin Jenny and her daughter Grace, plus his aunt Betty joined us at the pool.  Norah was even tall enough this year for the waterslide, which she enjoyed!

After swimming, we ate at McDonald's with Dave's dad, then went to the parade.  The girls had made 4th of July cupcakes to share with everyone.

We had to rush out after the parade to make it back to our house in time for fireworks.  This year, they shot them off right by our house, so we had a nice view from our neighbor's driveway.
