We got to spend the day with extended family from Chicago. Unfortunately, all the activities they used to have in the small town we were staying didn’t have a thing for the kids to do other than the playground. It was such a disappointment.
On the lake for the boat parade.
The fireworks lasted about 15 minutes. So fast for the 3 hours we were in town! Next year we wait until dusk.
Make sure to visit these other Wordless Wednesday participants: Mom Spotted, My Wee View, and Mama Dweeb.
I bet you had a wonderful time too!!

Looks like fun on the water:)
ReplyDeleteWater, plus boat, plus fireworks equals awesome fun times!! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a ton of fun! Happy (belated) 4th!
ReplyDeleteBoat parade sounds like fun. Sorry things didn't go so well for you. I didn't even time our fireworks but I think they lasted longer than 15 minutes. They do an awesome job. Unfortunately after a few pictures I was out of memory card space.
ReplyDeleteI love watching fireworks . . . unfortunately this year I missed them because of a friend's kid who had her own fireworks. Don't ask.

ReplyDeleteThat is a long wait for the fireworks! We missed them b/c my near-4 year old refused to nap and was zonked in bed by 730pm. Happy belated 4th of July!
