Sam's Saturday Soup - Sunday Leftovers!

Sorry we are a day late due to the HUGE celebrating we did over the weekend (okay, not HUGE, but I'm a little lazy!) Here's a quick recap of our fun week. Monday we went to the zoo and saw the elephants they have there as special guests. These elephants were amazing, honestly they could do things with 7000 lbs. that I can't do with ???lbs! It was really great.

Finally we ended the week in celebration - we went to the Yankee Doodle Pop Fireworks at the state capital. They were great, but getting out afterwards took a little too long! We also had friends over for a BBQ and then headed to the Waukee Parade. Sam loved the firetrucks and tractors! He had a great time collecting all the tootsie rolls too. That night we enjoyed Waukee's great firework display from our back yard. Definetly liked watching in my pj's with and getting home in uh, one second afterwards.



Hope everyone else had a great 4th of July! What did you all do???
