Parade!

Today we went to the Summerfest parade. Ankeny doesn't do anything for the 4th of July, so today started the big celebration. We found a good parking place, right by where we sat, so we could keep Kenna's potty close by. She did great, day 6 no accidents...by george, I think she's got it!

Chad, Tara, Chloe, Char, Nana (Char's mom), JJ and Maddy all came to watch it with us! She got half a grocery sack full of candy...they throw it out like it's free here. I will be taking it to work :)

I couldn't believe how cold it was. It was in the lower 60s-ish. Glad I brought lots of blankeys and coats, because it sprinkled on us too. Also glad I had the umbrella!

Then we spent the rest of the day cleaning out the garage....it was so cluttered. Much better now, you can't eat off the floor, but you can at least walk on it barefoot :)

After nap we went to the park with Shelly, Damon and "Nolo." After dinner Tara called, so we went to play with "Coley." We had such a great time, that time got away from us! By 8:30 I had a tired and very cranky toddler who did NOT want to go home!!! We did have a lot of fun tonight, glad we got to go. She loves her new friend!
