Where has the summer gone???? Here...

Family camping at Potato Creek!

Everyone must earn their keep while camping. :)

 Marcy's rock collection

Marcy had a great time collecting rocks and special things around our campground. She carried this around with her for two days. It was her special "shell". It was actually a bent plastic soda bottle cap. We didn't have the heart to tell her.

Hiking around Potato Creek State Park

The kids also took their first train ride to Chicago! We had a fantastic day at the Shedd Aquarium.

We love you, Chicago!

Awesome jellyfish!

Doesn't this make me look like a professional photographer?!

A certain little 3 year old was exhausted after a long day in Chicago

Leo played T-ball!

We have had a wonderful, fun-filled summer! You'll forgive me for not posting on the blog, right?! As you can see, we've been quite busy. :)

Hope everyone is doing well!
