July 3rd

we had a busy 3rd of July, going to Gymboree in the morning. I know Josh looks a bit apprehensive, but he did ask to go down the tube slide more than once, so I know he liked it.


celebrating Colin's first birthday. Colin is a friend Josh made at day care and is only a month or so younger than Josh. We were happy to celebrate with him and his family

make a mess eating cupcakes
and a great time chasing and finally catching their dog Misty so Josh could gently pet her.

and watching fireworks on Payton's Hill Not only did we see Arlington Heights', but because we were up higher, we saw about 20 other towns' fireworks on the horizon. You could say we were surrounded by fireworks. We'll definitely go next year, Josh can stay up later and come with us too.
