We made our first trip to Cedar Rapids for the 4th of July. It's the first time we have ever been there for the 4th since we have been married.
My dad has a special tradition he does with the 3 oldest grand kids. It's called the "secret stairs" and the kids love it.
Following the leader.
My dad gave me rides like this when I was Amelia's age.
A little hanging out in the driveway.
Nanny and the babies.
Macker's first bike ride.
The helmet bugged him.
Amelia loved waving the flag.
Nanny and the teenagers.
Macker bumped his head.
A little nervous about sparklers.
What a hunk?!

Thanks for all of the fun. I loved the video montage.
I want to go to the secret steps! I swear I am going on vacation to your parents house.
Too bad your family isn't patriotic or anything...
I might just play the footage of your Dad saying..."Whose in my river?" over...and over...and over.
It's holidays like this that I really wished I lived in the midwest. Sighhhhh....... I will just live vicariously through you for now!
Glad you had a great day!
Um, what happened to Mac's hair? I almost didn't recognize him without his spiky do!
I love sparklers! Too bad they're illegal here. Bummer.
Honestly, whenever you post pictures like this (the secret stairs, etc) it makes Shawn tell me we're moving to Iowa. Thanks for sharing these wonderful times with us!
1. June's bare arms. Is he batting left?
2. Amelia's braids - who did them?
3. When did you learn how to splice video?!?!?
4. Dang, Doi is werhd.
Aww! We bought our traditional matchers this year but failed to get a picture all in them. Wonder how the Ahwatukee Kids Bike Parade was without us?!? So glad you guys had a fun time in CR and so thankful we got to see you on Sunday :) I love Nanny and Papa and your sisters!
