4th of July

Happy 4th of July to all our friends and family!  The Johnson family had a great time celebrating the 4th this year.  Our day started off at the Urbandale parade.  It was extremely hot, but fortunately we were able to enjoy the parade sitting in the shade.  The kids enjoyed lots of candy and watching all the cars and trucks go by.  After the parade, we headed back home and spent the afternoon in the pool.  There really wasn't much else to do but swim on a hot day like this!  We ended the day with sparklers and a fireworks display with the neighbors.  Jay made a trip to Missouri several weeks ago and loaded up on lots of fireworks.  He had a blast setting them all off.  The adults enjoyed the fireworks, but most of the kids weren't too sure.  They did not enjoy the loud noise!  All of us were excited to go to bed after a long, but fun day!
