i love celebrating the fourth in chicago.
it means we get to be around family,
and eat lots of ribs.
this year, we even found what we thought was going to be a little parade.
the parade lasted an hour and a half.
not so little, but totally spectacular.
plus, the kids got spoiled with patriotic flags and beads.
at one point during our "little" parade, a helicopter came down the street.
and maggie almost died when she saw mickey mouse turn the corner.
really, maggie stole the show in her little outfit, wobbling down the street.
i think people enjoyed watching her wander around as much as they enjoyed the parade.
that night we went to see fireworks.
mister sat there and chanted out each color as it went off.
"purple!" "green!" "red, white, and blue!"
and he got to take his own fireworks home.
someday when he's older we'll tell him that they are actually called glow sticks,
but for now it is totally precious to see him run around the house showing everyone his fireworks.
hope everyone had a wonderful fourth.
god bless america.
