Happy 4th of July

We had a wonderful weekend with Doug's parents and sister. They arrived on Thursday evening...just in time for our bonfire and hot dog roast.

Friday was spent at a tractor show in Marengo and a parade there that evening.

Saturday was rainy all day. Kind of a bummer for the holiday, but what can you do about it? Doug, Bob and I went to Belle Plaine to catch another parade (in the rain). We were able to come home with lots of candy though! We then headed back to Marengo to check out their car show. We caught our third parade of the weekend in Williamsburg Saturday afternoon.

Sunday was church, followed by breakfast out. The weather was great, so we spent lots of time outside.

Here are a couple of pictures from the parades...enjoy!

Happy 150th Birthday Marengo!
Waiting on more floats...
How do you climb on this thing???
Only in Marengo do you ride a Texas Longhorn and not a horse!
At the car show we found this modified radio flyer.
At the Williamsburg parade, Dallas got into the collecting candy mood!
Daddy and Dallas at the parade.
Until next time...

It looks like you guys had a fun filled weekend as well!! Busy busy busy!

Next year you need to teach Dallas how to ride a sheep. Then he could pull Gertie in a sheep drawn carriage! :)
