Brian, Daddy and Mommy attended Villa Park's 4'th of July Parade today! Brian decided he only really needed to see about half of it to get the total effect, so we missed the last few entries but aside from that, fun was had by all! Next year, Mommy and Daddy will be better prepared and pick a spot along the parade route where we don't have to wait patiently for quite as long before the parade gets to us. Had we done that, we are sure that Brian would have made it through the entire thing.
This afternoon we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for their annual 4th of July holiday picnic! Aside from all the fun everyone had chatting and catching up with old (and new) friends, we all had our fill of BBQ'ed favorites as well as an assortment of other yummy goodies! Thanks to the magic touch of Great Aunt Ronnie, Brian did get a good late afternoon nap in, so he was ready to stay up late and see his first ever fireworks display! Grandma and Grandpa's back yard looks out to the park where the village hosts their annual display so we all had perfect seats for the evening! Mommy and Daddy were prepared if the noise bothered Brian, but just like at the parade earlier, it had no effect on him, in fact, he was absolutely fascinated by the fireworks! The evening did get a little long for him and he eventually fell asleep.......during of all times, the fireworks grand finale! We hope you all had a safe and happy holiday as well!
