Riverbend Rally

Riverbend Rally is a great tradition in Iowa Falls. Every year the Chamber Main Street helps to organize a carnival and events over the 4th of July weekend. This year we met Dave, Steph, Reid and Sydney for the event. We picked up Addison for the day, too. The kids had a great time - they enjoyed the petting zoo. Harper finally got to touch all the animals that we talk about - ducks, chickens, pigs, horses, dogs, cats, and llamas. (Fine, we don't talk about Llama, but she still got to pet one).  The older girls waited in line to get awesome balloon animals while Stephanie and I visited the Book Sale. After watching the drill team perform (and Harper trying to rush the stage to participate), Sydney and Addison participated in the water races put on by the Iowa Falls Fire Department. They were rewarded for their effort by a coupon for a free ice cream cone. Although Harper was too small to participate, she pretended she could and splashed around in the water outside the race area. All of the kids got to play a few games and everyone left with some fun prizes and great memories.
