Saturday at the beach

The water taxi is still fun.

Perfect beach hair.


Shadow dancing.

Friday Night Lights

On Friday evening we went to Glencoe to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. They light up several of their gardens in the summer and they are open until 9. We stayed very late, but the kids had a blast!





"This grass is sooooo soft. I love it. It isn't like Rice Krip-sies like ours. I wish I could lay here foh-ev-ah!"






"...and we will be best friends foh-ev-ah...even though I am not a mermaid like you. That's okay, right?" This conversation went on for a *really* long time!

Go, Cubs! Go!

Toad Time!

Eek! Someone left a giant bounce-house in our yard!

Butterflies

Hatching Monarch butterflies. "It's a girl!"
