Celebrating the 4th

We spent the 4th of July in Pella with the Van Mersbergen family.  We hit the parade with all of the cousins first and then headed over to my parent's house for supper and to cool off! The kids all had a great time on the slip and slide.  My dad and mom had just returned from Uganda so they had a lot of cool pictures to show us and also some great souveniers for us all. 

Their eyes are both closed, but they are cute none the less.:)

Five of the cousins waiting for the parade to start.

All in a row and ready to catch some candy!

The big boys being goofy as usual.

When there are 11 kids waiting to use one slip and slide, you have to be patient!
