The summer season is officially under way. We have been dealing with scorching temps, but have managed to still have fun through it all. We spent the fourth of July with family watching fireworks at Maine East high school. Raegan loved them and kept pointing out which ones were her favorite (all colors at one point) and wanted to know which ones we liked too. Joshua didn't seem too bothered by the noise probably because he got to be held so much. We also enjoyed watching to parade in Des Plaines. Raegan collected so much candy I think we will be passing it out for Halloween :). The one thing she didn't like was the costumed people. This is why we haven't made it to Disney yet! After the parade, we bbqed at my grams house and made up a new game of frisbee sprinkler. Basically turning a friendly frisbee throw into a challenge and a way to stay cool all at once. We had a couple of long days and I am ready to get back into our routine.

Parade time with Nana and Pops
While trying to keep cool, we've taken the kids on a couple mini adventures. One morning, we took three kids (the third being Sammi, the little girl I watch) to the DuPage children's museum. The girls had a great time playing and Joshua got in a good nap :)
We survived!
Ooo, colorful toys
Rae and Sammi
Raegan was a little scared of the giant bubble
Playing a giant drum
Another adventure we took was down to Grant park and Navy Pier. Raegan saw the giant ferris wheel and merry go round and instantly wanted to go on both. Out of all the animals, she wanted to ride on the bench...go figure lol.
