We went camping for the Fourth! It was awesome. We had a ton of fun. I was a little nervous about taking Matt with us but he was a trooper. We went to Blackwell Forest Preserve in Warrenville, which is about 8 miles away from home! But you would never know it, it really felt like we out in the middle of Wisconsin roughin' it.
Well not quite roughin' it. We went Chad and Emilie who have a pop-up camper with heat and AC, very nice!
We climbed to top of a huge hill and watched the fireworks. It was nice because we got a 360* view of all the fireworks in western suburbs. Courtney thought it was cool for about a minute, she was more excited to just stay up late I think.
Here are some pictures.
