Here we are in Cedar Rapids down by the river waiting for the big fireworks display. In order to be able to have a nice viewing seat you need to get there early. We parked ourselves there sometime around 5:00PM and waited for the 9:40PM start up. But the time went quickly. We had the downtown Freedom celebration to visit. There were sidewalk chalk drawings, music, vendors and people, people, people. I did not see them, but Bill and Hillary were supposed to be there also. In the photos are Katy and Kent, Duane and Elaine Olson, and Mike. We are playing a card game called "up the river" or something like that. Great evening! I hope to see some other 4th pictures on the other blogs.
