This 4th of July, we stayed a little closer to our home and didn't make any big travel plans. We enjoyed relaxing at home, cooking out with some friends, playing at the Lake Zurich park, and one of the other days we hit up the Ribfest in Naperville with some friends. The Ribfest was really yummy, by the way, despite the hot temperatures there. The Ford family and some other friends that joined us there managed to find just a perfect spot that day and were were able to stay in the shade for most of it. Alicia and Kaylee really had a fun time in the kids play areas and getting to touch and feed all the animals in the petting zoo there. I think the favorites were the homemade lemonade drinks and the Italian ice treats. I really liked the arrange of different bbq vendors there, as we had pulled pork, ribs, and corn on the cob! hmmm..
Over the holiday weekend, we attempted to watch some fireworks, however, Alicia really does NOT like them yet. It was too loud for her to handle. :( We even tried to bring along some headphones and an ipod for her to listen to and hopefully distract from the loud noises, but it still didn't fool her. She opted to stay in the car with daddy, while mommy and the Suttmann family enjoyed watching the fireworks from the back of their van in our mini-tailgate party :) Lucas and Megan however, really seemed to like the fireworks show.
