Bear walked in the Annual Apple Valley 4th of July parade with me bright and early while the rest of the family was still sleeping . . .
We've got spirit!
We made it to Union Station to check out FIFA World Cup Fan Fest on the 3rd! 
So impressive!
So proud of our city, being the best host to travelers from all around the world!
It was a HOT day - but we tried to stay cool!
Kate, Mike and I went to the K for bobbleheads and fireworks on the night of the 4th - and of course to cheer on our belove Royals!
Parachuters coming down before the game with the US Flag! There is something so Americana about going to a baseball game ON the 4th of July! I love it!
I bought my favorite ballpark treat in my purse - tootsie pops!
A "Kate" Sandwich!
At sunset, Kate and I snuck away from our seats to catch the view!
The BEST Fireworks show and music followed the game!
SO grateful to be an American!
Molly celebrated with friends at the park - and we missed her!
