Lights Festival - Part 2

So after naps, we headed back out for a fun filled evening. The hard part for all of us was waiting for the parade to start. As you can see from the pictures below, and the girls enthusiasm, it had not started. At this point they were saying "me go home!" and we were wondering how it was going to go.

But then the parade began. And for the next LONG, LONG, LONG hour Greg and I held the girls on our shoulders so they could enjoy the parade. It was hard to watch their little faces, but Grace's words, and Isabel's silence said it all.

Over and over again Grace kept saying...

"wook mommy! wook! more toming!! wook!"

(translation for those that don't get that...look. more coming!)

Such ABSOLUTE SWEETNESS!!!!

And our Isabel...just took it all in.

The lady next to Greg had to reassure him that she was blinking since she wouldn't respond to him. Sweet little thing she is!!

Then we saw some great fireworks over the river.
Isabel wasn't so fond of them...a little too loud for her.

but Grace LOVED them!And how wonderful there were pink and green!

and tinkerbell fireworks!!

ALL our favorites!

Then we walked with the TONS of other people and headed back down Michigan Avenue. The girls talked to each other the WHOLE way, about what, who knows, but many commented on their cuteness. And I must say...they were pretty darn cute!!!

We went and had dinner and the girls were perfect.

A perfect ending to a perfect day.

Such sweet little faces, their looks of awe and wonder, and their sweet little voices as they watched the majic before them in true amazement all day long.

Perfect.
