Fourth of July Fun

We had a BLAST in Bloomfield over the 4th of July.  We packed about as many things as possible into the week as we could.  We spent the entire day up on the square.  We ate pancakes, played in the dirt, played games, bounce housed, picnicked for lunch and then of course, we watched the parade!  There were plenty of flags and plenty of candy. Both boys were happy.  I got to chat with an old friend, Hi Lori! :)   It was a really fun day that we topped off with the rodeo and fireworks.  We were TIRED!  While we were there, we ate at the new ice cream shop (Elena's), we dined at Lake Wapello's restaurant, visited with cousins at the pool and I got to visit with my friend, Laura and her sweet babe.  The boys played outside and loved just hanging around.  I have more pictures to post but wanted to get SOMETHING on the blog before we leave on vacation!!  6 days but who's counting, right!?!?  It will be our first BIG vacay without the sweet little children.  THANK YOU, Grandma and Poppa Wagler and Aunt Ellie---without them it would not be possible for us to go.  We can NOT wait to get our feet in that California sand and catch up with so many people!  Anyways, I keep getting side tracked by that vacation! Here are a few pictures of the boys rocking their flag shirts that Finnean made (more on that later)!  Hope you had a great 4th!
