We started the Fourth of July weekend by celebrating P's 6th birthday, yes, he is 6 already. We then drove to Chicago for my sister's bachelorette party. It was an awesome time! The party was a rooftop Cubs game (they won). All you can drink, all you can eat...great time, great food, great company.
We had a BBQ for the Fourth and the rain cleared just as my dad was set to grill. Again, great food and great company. P. was pretty good with the fireworks this year, no panicking and he sat through the whole thing. He even said the grand finale was "awesome". M. was clapping, until the grand finale, which she did not find awesome, just loud and scary. K. was a riot. She watched from a blanket with Aunt Kiki and cousin Emma. You could hear her say, "That one was cool", every time another firework went into the air. She is the life of the party in our family, that's for sure!
On Sunday, as part of our "staycation" summer, we stopped at Lego Discovery center. P. was in heaven! He could not believe all of the things made out of Legos. And, just when he thought it could not be any cooler, he was in a room with a lifesize Darth Vader and Batman. I thought the kid was going to have to be peeled off the ceiling! We had a yummy lunch at Big Bowl and finished up the afternoon with some Lego building and a stop to spend some b-day money at the Lego store.
We arrived home that night weary, but happy...always a great way to end a vacation!
