Fav Foto Friday - Red, White & Blue

Since this has been the Summer of Rain, I was not surprised at all to discover the sun chose not to make an appearance at this year's 4th of July celebration, even though WGN's Tom Skilling assured me he had RSVPed that he'd be there for at least part of the party.

Luckily, we were still able to enjoy all our 4th of July activities anyway, even if Andy had to wear long pants w/his USA t-shirt and Aidan's sleeveless red & white onsie had to be saved for Labor Day.

We started the morning w/the annual neighborhood fire truck parade:Then enjoyed some popsicles in the park:

After naptime we headed over to Grammy & Papa's, where we did manage get in some boating:

and some time in the sand

and most importantly, the fireworks, which, after we pumped them full of chocolate chip cookies, all 3 kids stayed awake to see.
