4th of July

Daddy pulling Lydia in her wagon, heading to the parade.
The Pierce family decided to brave the scorching heat this morning and attend the Urbandale Parade.  What a sweet parade it was.  For our two year old she loved it all, the fire trucks, clowns, kids handing out candy and more.  I felt so bad for the folks dressed up in the animal costumes...that had to be brutal!  We were camped out in the street on blazing hot blacktop, at 9:30 it was already ninety plus degrees.  Thankfully Walgreens was right there so my husband bought a giant umbrella and lots of water!  It was worth it though too see our little girl so excited, although she cried when we left because she didn't want to leave.

Picking up candy.

I don't know why she's yawning, she was squealing with excitement most of the parade.
