Savoring Summer

We've been doing our best to enjoy the summer-- only a few more days until Evelyn is officially a kindergartner!

Here are some of the fun things we've been up to the past couple of months....

Evelyn got her second-ever haircut. Here's the before:

and after!

Movie night with the neighbors 

Concert at Millennium Park, and the Bean

A visit to the arboretum with Grandma Marilyn

A goose stalking Evelyn during a zoo picnic

Checking out the butterfly exhibit at the zoo

 First time to the Shedd for both girls!

Cantigny with Grandma Jean

Wisconsin, Round Two

We took another mini vacation to Wisconsin last week! This time it was to Elkhart Lake with Grandpa Wally and Grandma Marilyn. We were blessed again with beautiful weather and lots of fun at the beach and the pool!

Testing out some water toys...

 Evelyn really liked this house in town

Filling the moat

Splashing in the moat!

Grandpa Wally took us on a boat ride

These two jumped into the lake!

There were endless jumps into the pool, of course

Happy July

There has been no shortage of family fun this month! 

We celebrated Grandma Marilyn's birthday with a BBQ on a beautiful day...

Hadleigh came to town (her parents, too!). We went to the parade on the 4th and played all day!

Mmm, s'mores! 

Please admire the snowflake headband Evelyn and I made, inspired from her "50 Frozen Hairstyles!" library book. 

The best way to get pictures of these three is to serve them dessert!

We spent the morning at the Children's Museum... I was pretty impressed with Evelyn's window creation (and that no other kid came and knocked it down while she was working on it!). 

Silly girls <3

Lake Geneva

Last week we took a mini vacation to Lake Geneva! The weather was great, and you can't beat the 1.5 hour drive :)

Ready for the water park! We stayed at Timber Ridge, and the girls really enjoyed it. 

Checking out the lake

Hanging out on the balcony...

 Couch potatoes!

We drove to the other side of the lake to Fontana Beach. It was very nice!
