I joined the majority of the family for Venetian Night (Max was home sick with grandpa).
Apparently this is a little ritual that I seemingly hadn't been able to catch with the rest
of them since this was their 3rd visit and I was on my first. Here are some of the pictures
from our day and night out. The boat parade pics are lacking I know, but in my defense, all
were taken 1 handed, above my head, while Alex sat on my shoulders to get a good look above
people in front of us. So the fact there are ANY usable ones I thought was good :-)

The kids hanging out on a statue @ Shedd Aquarium	A group shot to show off their face painting	Thats what MY boat would have on it, if I had one	Riley rests up for the nights festivities while we picnic on the lakefront
Planes flying over to start things off	Again	A taste of the boat parade	Some feature people and props
Some feature lights	Some have all of the above	Sean showing his glow sticks off to me, while I think Abby takes the photo	Abby and Sean, definitely taken by Alex
Riley is awake and ready now!	The fireworks begin	So I continue to work on trying to take good pics of them	Hopefully I'm getting better with practice
