We had two extra house guests for the Fourth of July holiday. A couple of Dallas friends (brothers) stayed the night while their parents were finishing up a vacation.
We headed over to the stadium to watch the fireworks. The boys played some street football while we waited for it to get dark.
Emily and a festive friend.
I brought along sparklers and those things you throw that pop on the cement. The sparklers I bought at Walmart were ridiculously short compared to the things our friends were lighting.
Looks like Dallas secured a long sparkler from a friend

Ames has the fireworks on July 3rd. They host a parade down main street and a pancake breakfast on the 4th. We were invited to help with the Upwards float associated with our church. Robert drove the Chevelle in the parade with a ton of Upwards magnets as advertising. It was the hottest day!!!
Like most things, we had to be to the staging area early and then wait. Luckily we were in the first 3rd of the parade. There is usually 100 entries. The kids had candy and foam footballs to hand out, the adults handed out Upwards registration flyers and discount coupons.
It was a success. They handed out over 3 Sams Club carts of candy and 3000 footballs.
