It was a great weekend. For the past 3 weeks we have had various children gone to different camps. It was nice to be all together again. It was really low key. We swam a few times, took in the fireworks, set off a few fireworks, had a BBQ with a few good friends and went to the drive-in theater. All in all lots of fun. Next week the big boys will be off to Indiana to work in the corn fields for a few weeks.
Harry and the big boys are at camp and high adventure this week. So one night Courtney called from her job and said no one was at the pool and that I could bring the little kids over for a swim. They were so excited. The water was really warm but the air was a little chilly. It was the perfect end to a crazy day. Dan said on the way home that Courtney is a "Nice" Lifeguard. He has divided all Lifeguards into two categories: Mean or Nice. He doesn't like them to blow their whistles. He thinks it's not nice. We are all glad Courtney made it into the "Nice" category:)
Earlier in the month we celebrated Dan's birthday. He is so easy to please. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he said, "Go to the beach with my best friend, Jack". Unfortunately the weather has been cold here in Chicago, today was the first day that was beach worthy. So we made all his dreams come true today:)
I love Summer! I feel like Summer is a time to pull everyone in and regroup and recharge. The little ones always love to help with the smallest tasks.
Amy's crew came to visit last weekend. As always the kiddos have a GREAT time together.
