4th of July

Fourth of July was busy as usual. On July 3 the West Des Moines parade goes right in front of our house.  So we had friends come over and we watched the parade.  It was extremely hot out, but it was still fun.

 The next day was 4th of July and we got up early and headed to Perry to watch the Perry parade.  Grandpa Wink was crowned the king so he had a prime seat in the parade!

 After the parade we headed out to Grandma Wink's place to grill out and play outside.  Some of the Alaska family was back, so it was really fun to meet some of them and just hang out

We had a great 4th of July.  Busy, but fun. Braydon loved the fireworks and the parades.  He picked up all the candy and didn't even eat one piece!!
