We had a lovely July 4th weekend with my mom and Grandma in from Cincinnati. There seemed to be fireworks each night around the neighborhood, with July 4th being the most boisterous of them all! I really don't remember the "local" fireworks being so loud in either Texas or Ohio, but here in Illinois they are EVERYWHERE and you can just sit on your front lawn and see an amazing show all around. 
Saturday we rode downtown to Navy Pier where we had lunch and took a scenic boat ride on Lake Michigan. It was a beautiful day and while Alex was a bit unsure of the boat at first, a few snacks helped him enjoy the ride. He also rode the carousel (which even he thought was a little bit bogus given that there was no music or bell to let you know when it was starting/stopping) and kiddie train.
Of course there was plenty of frolicking in the wading pool with the neighbor kids. Here were Alex and Josh cooling off at the end of a warm day.
