This last bit of summer has been such a whirlwind… I thought we were busy a few months ago, but trying to cram in all the pool/beach/outside time we can while the weather has been glorious has been exhausting fun too!
Last week we headed down to Millennium Park on Monday to see Ms. Julie sing – she was our old Wiggleworms teacher. We enjoyed a word art project and the hoola hoops, and then shared a picnic with Daddy by the Bean! Tuesday we had a playdate with Maeve’s friend from Black Bear, Sisi, at a wonderful tucked away park called Adams Playlot. The girls played in the sandbox mostly, but Maeve and I went back after lunch to beat the heat at the splash pad with a slide! Wednesday was gorgeous and we enjoyed it to the fullest – we went to the Green City Market and Farm in the Zoo with Olivia, Tessa and Sarah in the morning. Then we joined Evan and Georgia at the pool in Wilmette in the afternoon! The rest of the week included some errands and prep for Mommy’s girls’ weekend, but then Maeve and Daddy had an adventure. They headed over to Saugatuck to our friends’ cottage on Saturday to enjoy the beach. Georgia took the kids to paint pottery while the daddies went fishing too. It sounded like Maeve had a great time!
This week included the following:
Monday – trip downtown on the Metra and the water taxi
Tuesday – Oak Park to Olivia’s and a new pool that had a lazy river
Wednesday – art projects at home and bouncy fun at Pump-It-Up
Thursday – Playdate with Will (friend from Black Bear) at Family Grounds Cafe and dinner with our cousins Anne & Cole, and Katie & Ben
Friday – Playdate with new neighbors Jackson and Abby
For Labor Day weekend we are off to visit cousin Nathan, Auntie Beth, Uncle Matt, and Grandma!
