Fireworks Fun!

We headed to Oak Brook for the Taste of Oak Brook, Fireworks and to meet up with some friends. It was so much fun to see everyone and the kids said it was the best time they had ever had.
McDonald's was the sponsor and the workers told the kids to take one of each toy and they took them seriously!
Tate could not be happier.

With all their loot! Look at those smiles.


Ronald McDonald came and the kids were shaking they were so excited to get a picture with him. Ellie Grimm would not get that close to him unlike EB who is leaning on him. The entire time Ronald had that smile.

Counting their animals. I have to figure out how to get some of them away to donate them. They have not even opened them all up yet!

The girls headed to the kids' tent to get their face painted. It was not too crowded yet and we let them go together and they came back with these adorable designs. Of course Harper got a Peace sign with glitter.


We were so excited to see the McCormack's there -- Eilise, Harper, EB and Lauryn. Love this picture.

It is getting darker and Tate is getting crazier by the moment.

What could be more fun than getting flipped upside down by your dad?

Playing a little Nintendo DS before the fireworks.
Ellie Grimm ready for some fun!

EB.
Getting ready for the fireworks.

EB and Ellie watching them and not moving a bit.
