This year for the 4th we headed to our neighbor's house for a BBQ. Afterwards, we went to our friends Kevin & Allison's parents house for swimming and fireworks. Kevin's parents live on a small, private lake in Naperville and they set off fireworks there. It was unbelievable how big the fireworks were when we were directly underneath them, very cool. Luke didn't like the noise and spent the evening inside but Chase loved them!

The following day we headed to Blake's parents to celebrate his dad's birthday. The cousins got to play together which is something that everyone loves!
