Independence

Eden Prairie had a big 4th of July celebration on Friday. It was voted "Best Community Event" by reader of the Eden Prairie News, so we thought we'd better check it out. There was a lot of fun stuff for kids and a lot of fried food. Madeline bounced in 3 different inflatable castles, touched a shark, sprayed a fire hose, danced and got a tattoo and a shark tooth necklace. The rest of us ate fried mashed potatoes, bacon cheese fries and footlong hot dogs. We left long before the fireworks, but still had a good time.
