Happy 4th!

Ben had to work on our first holiday in Illinois. I thought it wouldn't be that bad because I could take the kids to the parade and festivities without him...and then I learned there is no parade or carnival or anything!! Who doesn't have a 4th of July parade?! What else do you do? So, at a loss for what to do we went to a park and then to DQ for a red, white and blue star popsicle :)



When daddy got home we took a picnic dinner to the Peoria River and waited for the fireworks.



The fireworks were pretty fantastic and saved the day for us!! Or maybe everything is just better with daddy :) Either way, we had a great Independence Day!!
