We completed the second leg of our trip back to Arkansas from Chicago today.  For lunch, Stella insisted we go to Steak-n-Shake, one of her favorite places to eat because of their yummy milkshakes.  Here they are enjoying their dessert at the end of lunch.

We finally got home around dinner time.  We quickly unloaded our stuff from the car, went to a pizza place for dinner (whereby Des flirted with 2 college girls...one of the girls said that "he is such a ladie's man already!") and then drove up to the ball park to see the fireworks.

When we got home, a lot of our neighbors were putting on their own fireworks display, which we got to enjoy from our driveway and front porch.
