| This was the first July 4th my family didn't get together in Ottumwa to celebrate the 4th. With it being in the middle of the week this year, it just didn't work in everyone's schedule. It seemed strange NOT celebrating my grandpa's birthday and also my brother's wedding anniversary with the family in Ottumwa. Usually we celebrate with a big BBQ and LOT of awesome fireworks. All the cousins get together too. Hopefully it will work out next year. |  | ||||||||||||||||||
| Ruthie's first parade!! |
 |
| Some Minutemen walking in the parade. Ruth heard a cannon shoot sound and didn't like it. Throughout the parade she would cover her ears at the sirens or other loud commotion. |
 |
| An icee was tossed out to help keep the kids cool on this beastly hot day. |
 |
| Ruth got tired of sitting in the HOT sun, so she found an empty chair to borrow. She made a new friend to the person behind her in the blue stripes, chit chatting away to her. |
 |
| My nephew's baseball team was invited to ride in the Game Truck during the parade. Kip and his brother are in the left window (waving hand-Brett, Kip-below the gentleman in gray.) It was pretty much the last float in the parade. |
 |
| Clare also met a new friend in the shade...Cooper. |
