4th of July Weekend

I like sand!

This was Lily's favorite part of the Spray park. She would cover up the little fountain and then it would shoot up.

Fireworks!!!

We started the 4th of July weekend with a trip to the Spray park in Mundelein, Brookfield Zoo, the Parade in Vernon Hills and then Fireworks.

Lily really liked the Zoo, but I think she actually prefers Lambs Farm because she can touch the animals. :)

Lily was a little apprehensive of the spray park at first so we went to the sand area, she loved it. We went back to the water park, and she got more comfortable.

On the 4th, we had breakfast at Chris & Gwen's and then walked over to the parade. Lily loved it! She sat on the curb like a big girl and had fun putting everything in her basket.

Getting ready for the fireworks, we realized that we brought only long sleeve pj's for Lily and it was 80 degrees out, so we had to borrow a pair of Jack's. The pants were fine, but the shirt was a little small. I think at one point we called her "Black Bart", from A Christmas Story. We were a little worried about keeping Lily up for the fireworks since she usually goes to bed around 7:30. but she did great.
