Workout: 2 miles easy, Upper Body Endurance Summer. In Illinois. I kinda think it's the best place to spend the month of July! Hot days, cool nights, fire flies, soft grass, corn fields - oh my gosh, and Monical's Pizza! With french dressing! Okay, anyway... Adventure 4 Fourth of July with the family! Loads of fun! My sister lives right across the street from the park that has a huge firework display. The park is so packed it's insane. However, we have our own private viewing area in her backyard. It's perfect, really! We had some seriously amazing food, homemade lemonade shake ups, tons of sparklers for the kids, glow sticks, and flash copters. We were set! All the cousins together for the 4th! We also had this super cool cotton candy maker. You drop in 2 jolly ranchers, and within seconds it melts it down and makes cotton candy! Any hard candy will work, but our choice for the night was Jolly Rancher. The kids were obsessed!!
