Summer visits

We have had a busy and fun few weeks, and the weather has finally been summer-like so we’ve been outside enjoying it as much as possible. We’ve been to the pool several times, the one that we discovered last year that’s like a beach with zero-depth-entry. It’s even more wonderful than I remembered and Maeve is loving jumping off the sides and practicing her kicks in the shallow water. Her confidence in the water is growing every time and it’s also just a lot of fun!

We’ve had some wonderful visits with friends, traveling to Minneapolis to see Tammy, Tim and one-year-old-today Grace. We also got to meet Karen’s new daughter Felicity, Paula’s son Ryan, Zlatka’s granddaughter Christina, and Sarah’s new daughter Tessa – all so cute! We participated in our community’s parade on July 4th and saw another movie, Charlotte’s Web, in the theater one rainy day.

Maeve and I took a fun trip downtown on the train today, having fun in Millennium Park and grabbing lunch with Daddy on the Riverwalk. We are hoping to swim some more this week before heading to Grandma’s for vacation next week. Chris is fresh off his repeat win at our neighbor’s BBQ contest, so we’ll see if he can carry that through with our lime entry in Jane’s annual cook-off this weekend!
