Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July...  going to the zoo in the morning...  naps were taken, then we packed up and headed to Centennial Park in Waukee.  The plan had been for about 5 families to show up for food, fun and playing, but it ended up only being 2 families!  Jess, Lex, Presley and Dax joined us, and we had a very nice time...  We found a great little spot in the shade (which ended up being chilly after awhile!!!)...  the kids played on the playground right next to us, and we just enjoyed ourselves.  Such a nice night.  The park has live music, food, and inflatables for the kids...  so the kids had a blast for sure!  

We grilled out and then close to 8:30 we decided to pack up and just take it back to our house...  Jess and Lex got their kiddos to bed...  we kept our monsters up, which was fine...  especially since it's 8:45 this morning and they are BOTH still sleeping!  :)  Late night for those kiddos!  Anyway, we were able to see the fireworks from Des Moines Golf... we sat in Jess and Lex's driveway, and it was perfect.  Bed happened directly after!  It was a great end to the afternoon/evening.  A great little day!

My little firecrackers!

I love how Cora is constantly looking at her brother.

Some sparkler fun!
