Summer fun...kid style...

Thought I would capture a typical summer day at our house...

(white trash slip n slide...)

Best friends...

And this...

Hope your summer is as wet and wild as ours...

Starved Rock

We took a nice drive out to Starved Rock.
It was a beautiful day...
Of course we did not realize exactly how NOT accessible this place was. Wow...

Of course Ella had fun going around hugging all the statues...

Shawn too! Austin and I hung out together while the others went hiking. He was not in the mood to have any pictures taken this day.

I think Ella took this one...pretty good.

Dad took Ella and Shawn out hiking on all the trails. Way longer than anticipated. They were exhausted! A fun day...

Happy Fourth of July...

from our gang!

the Cricket...
the Peanut...

and...the Bubs...
