4th of July

Well, we had a nice calm 4th of July this year. We usually go to an Indians game, but thought it would be more work this year (w/ Braden being so young). They have a nice display after the game and then it's great seats to see downtown's'. However, Aly was set on seeing fireworks so we had to come up with a plan. We decided at the last minute to go to Plainfield, because they had a lot going on at the park. They had vendors with food (even elephant ears, frozen choc. bananas and walking tacos), a duck race, inflatable activities, etc. So, we ended up going around 5:30 and had plenty of things to do before the fireworks. The best part was that we were out of the parking lot in 5 min. (only to be stopped by pedestrians for 5 more)....not too bad!!!


They raced the rubber ducks down the creek. Needless to say ours didn't win!

Aly loves these big slides!
She will also jump forever!
It was a fun night concluded with "Oooohhhs" and "Aaaahhhs".
