We made our annual trek to Grant Park, on Chicago's lakefront to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Ray, Lisa and Nikki invited us to join them for a picnic before the show. The weather was great, but the food was even better. This is probably the best I've eaten in a few weeks! Ray and Lisa brought some great food from Fox & Obel.
Before the fireworks started, we ate and walked around. We made some new friends, had some good conversation and "people-watched".
We met four young ladies who took the train down from Grayslake. Toni, Amber, Ashleigh and Linnea successfully haggled with a vendor for some glow sticks.
Mason snapped a photo of a boy who made a hat perfect for the 4th of July. I've posted more pics here.
Once the show started, we just sat back and enjoyed the display that was accompanied by the Chicago Symphony playing in the Petrillo Band Shell and simulcast on the radio. To top off the night, we stopped in Little Italy for some Italian Ice for the ride home.
Happy 4th!
Max and Mason
