Since Rowan is in his running phase we didn't participate in a lot of the Freedom Festival this year but we did try out the Fly In breakfast at the Marion airport. We got to look in the medical helicopters and watch plenty of other planes take off and land. Rowan seemed to like it and would point at each plane. It was a bit chilly so we didn't hang out too long but it was a fun experience.
We travelled to Monticello again for the pancake breakfast and parade. The kids were all really good.
Viv only caught candy for about 1/2 the parade and then she sat down to eat it.
Rowan was good as long as there was some action! He really liked all the antique tractors.
Trying to get a grandparent picture...Rowan was DONE! Ha!
Fireworks were legalized this year in Iowa so this 4th was loud! We lit some sparklers in the backyard and I wasn't sure if she'd be into them or not....but of course she showed no fear and dove right in. We also did snakes in the fire pit. We didn't go any 'big' fireworks since she was scared last year...so we sat up in her room and watched what we could from her window. She loved seeing them...so maybe we'll try again next year.
