Happy Independence Day!

I don't normally do holiday posts, but since this is my first year as an American (I got my citizenship last October), I feel particularly celebratory. After some really sad news over the weekend, it was nice to get out today and enjoy the sun.
We had a kids' parade and then the fire department brought a truck, closed the road and turned one of the hydrants into a fountain. The Chicago fire department is awesome!
S has been talking about the fire truck all week, and it did not disappoint!
Later, we're off to see some fireworks. Hope you're enjoying the day too!

And remember, the Brimfield Growth Chart giveaway is still open too - you have until Monday night to enter to win one of Kim's Sister's fabulous growth charts!
