4th of July 2016

 Henry went to Papa-Nana's cabin early for our 4th of July visit this summer.
He enjoyed getting some extra time in to go fishing. Nice, catfish Henry.
Henry caught another fish too. He likes to point out that he caught 2 fish and Papa only caught 1 fish.
We were able to squeeze in a visit to the water park in Dubuque this year.
Cousins: Andy, George, Henry, Mary and Zack

 The highlight of the Bellevue, IA 4th of July parade this year was Papa's 1936 Ford Truck being in the parade along with...
...specially selected passengers.


Henry and Andy had the same shirts on (unplanned) that day. Henry loves his 2013 hand-me-down Old Navy flag t-shirt. As soon as it gets washed he picks it out right away to be worn again.
 
Before the parade, quite a crew!
Henry, Mary, Jennie and Andy

Wow, check it out we made it in the weekly Bellevue newspaper. 

 Aw, 3 boys who love kitties!

Not many places you can walk down the street of a town and have the road literally divided by train tracks.

Later, we had cheeseburger cake for dessert. Mmm...it was good!

The cousins enjoyed performing mini camp fire skits for us. They were fun to watch.

We can see more of Henry in the tube this year.

  2. They did loves those kitties. The one with the boys walking next to the train is a good perspective. They don't think anything of it! Henry kept saying "what's up" along the parade route. Cracked me up.
