Fireworks

Ok, so I realize I'm blogging out of chronological order here, but I had some cute photos to share.

We were out of our minds and decided to go to Grant Park to see the fireworks on July 3rd. Then we got the crazier thought of hitting the "Taste of Chicago" for some ice cream before hand. It took us half an hour to make our way through the crowd to find the ice cream. Once we got it, we huddled in a corner to eat in peace. Yes, Nick is sitting on empty boxes eating his ice cream. Three fights broke out while we were there, with no cops to be found. We got a bit freaked and left ASAP. Found a spot on the lawn to watch the fireworks, but had some tree branches blocking our view and Nick claimed they were "too loud". So off we were, before the fireworks even finished. A family joke/groan is when my dad would have us in the car driving away before the fireworks ended so we could "beat the traffic". Three little heads looking out the back window yelling about leaving early. I swore I'd never do it and yet there we were with the fireworks continuing at our back.

We hit the Sox game on the 4th and they had a fireworks show afterwards. Super cool with great music. Nick hasn't stopped talking about seeing fireworks at the baseball game.
