Happy 4th of JULY!!!!

Our little family had a great 4th of July. We were invited to a BBQ with all of Curtis's fellow students. It was as "Tacky" red, white, and blue dress up BBQ and so we went to the Salvation Army and Goodwill and found tacky clothes for all of us. It was really fun to dress up and just relax and enjoy eachother. Then we went to the Parade in downtown Coralville and it was a huge parade. There were like 170 floats and I have never seen so much candy thrown at a parade in my life. It was really fun. We took a picture of a person dressed up in all Samari garb. It was great. We of course went to the fireworks later that night with the Elder's and Vania, her daughter Demia, and their friend Angel. Vania is one of our investigator's here and she is just so awesome. We are so blessed to have been able to get to know her. We hope that all of your 4th's were as fun as ours. Love you all!!!Don't we look Tacky!! Please say yes!!!
There was a dear running around in the back yard during the BBQ.
Smile for he camera.
Doesn't Curtis look fantastic. He is a mix between Where's Waldo, Santa Claus, and a baseball playing Elf. You choose your favorite.
It's Pinata time!!!
We decided to let Vance suck on a sucker just a little bit and he loved it(of course)!!
