Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! Too bad it rained the entire day here (well, it did sort of stop for the fireworks in the evening)! John took Jack to a parade in Hinsdale. In the past two months, he has been to three and he has learned that he gets suckers at parades. So, of course, he loves to go to parades.

Here are the two boys before the parade

Wearing his hat he made at school this week

He actually liked to wear the hat and did not want to take it off

He thinks he is going to drive to the parade in his car

At the Parade

We took Jack to the fireworks last night in La Grange, which were set off at the country club near our home. We got there around 8:30p and the fireworks were scheduled to start around 9:15p. Well, we don't know why they were delayed, if it was the sprinkling rain, or wet grass, but they didn't start until after 10pm. Jack fell asleep waiting. Once they started, we woke him up and he enjoyed them. This is the first time he has seen any sort of fireworks. He kept saying, "That is a BIG one!" or "This one has lots of colors!" What a late night, but we had a good time.
