4th of July

We had a busy 4th of July weekend - it began with a super-busy day at work Saturday. That evening we enjoyed small firework displays in our neck of the woods (or more appropriately our neck of the cornfields)! Sunday morning we were praying for sunshine and no rain so everyone could enjoy the 4th of July parade in Coralville. Once again, the credit union had a festive float, complete with four "old guys" (their words-not mine) who played fun music on the route. "In Heaven There Is No Beer" and the Hawkeye fight song were crowd faves. Later we barbecued.
Monday, we didn't do too much - some tidying up, baked a cake, visited with my friend Betsy, Marvin and their son, Landon. But the look on Ellie's face pretty much sums it up - we are pooped and ready for a little rest. She's a little blurry - it was a quick shot and I wasn't steady and was trying to capture her face before she moved.   xo - Em
