Summer Adventures

This summer was filled with many adventures. We went to probably every park in IL (or at least within 45 minutes of our house), revisited favorite places and found a couple new favorites for next summer. Most days we were out and about finding fun things to do. Probably the most fun and personally triumphant trip was our trip to Loyola Beach. I braved the beach (a sad day...the boys said, "Look mommy...the ocean...It was Lake Michigan...we really need to make a trip home so they can see what the ocean looks like. LOL) by myself and I am here writing, so we all survived. The water was really warm and shallow. They all had such a great time. I really had envisioned a much more chaotic trip and it turned out wonderfully.
