Fourth of July




More so than anywhere we've ever lived, the Fourth of July is celebrated in a very lively manner here in IL. On July 3rd, the village held a family-friendly picnic/fireworks show at the high school. Alex loved being out past dark, eating popcorn, and watching the fireworks once they finally got under way. Abby watched a few fireworks before nodding off for the night. July 4th we simply set up lawn chairs out front with the neighbors and could see fireworks all around us. People here must spend tons on fireworks as it was quite a show! It was a very relaxing weekend full of late nights and good company! Needless to say it was a little hard to get Alex up for his class this morning!
