St. Joe

Grandma Sandy and Grandpa Dave came for a visit and we ventured to St. Joe.  We were so excited to see 30+ dogs dotting the downtown landscape.  We had to fine EVERY ONE!!!

Strawberry Picking

We had a great time strawberry picking.  Luckily they didn't weigh the kids before and after!  When we got home we made tons of strawberry jam.  Yummy : )

A Visit from Jack!

Jack joined us for a week in early June.  It was great!  We spent some time at the Dunes where Jack and Corey raced to the top, each with a child on their shoulders (remember I am pregnant at this point and not wanting to carry a baby up the dunes).  As you can surmise from the below, Corey did not win the race.




 Jack "jumping off".
 The polar bear plunge.

Chicago

We took a mini-getaway to Chicago.  We stayed at the Hyatt on the Magnificent Mile where we had a spectacular view of the horses pulling carriages.  We had a couple of nice meals out, enjoyed the zoo for our first time (in the rain), and did a bike tour.

 The beautiful gardens along our bike ride route.

Tennis

 Lily took tennis lessons at Morris Park this summer.  Too cute!

Caden was a mostly helpful ball collector : )
