Happy 4th of July!

My sister Danielle came yesterday to help us celebrate the 4th of July. It was nice to see her again. Aubrey was very excited to see her too. Calvin didn't have to work, so we went with his parents to the parade in Watseka. We got there shortly before the parade started and were able to get all set up before the parade reached us. Aubrey loved watching all of the police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and floats go by. She did great with all of the sirens - they didn't seem to affect her at all! She even got to pick up candy that people threw to us. (We decided next year we need to bring more kids with us so we can get more candy! :) After the parade, we all went out to eat at Monical's. It was yummy! We then came home and worked on cleaning our deck so that I can stain it this weekend.
