COSI with Grandad

We spent some time at COSI this weekend. Although you cannot tell from these photos, Grandad met us there (Supernana had to work.) and we all had a great time.

Orchardly Park

The new neighborhood spray park opened a few weeks ago. Georgia loves it!

Destination: Chicago!!

We spent the holiday weekend with our friends who've recently moved to a town outside of Chicago. After exploring their new neighborhood for a couple of days, we took the train into the city on Saturday and spent some time in Millenium and Grant Parks, as well as touring the famed Magnificent Mile via trolley.

Sailboats in the harbor on Lake Michigan


Before heading home on Sunday, the three of us went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and spent a little time at one of the many gorgeous beaches in Chicago. We enjoyed the zoo and Georgia relished her time in the water, even though it was VERY cold!! We'd love to go back and spend a weekend in the city. We will definitely spent more time at the beach during another warm-weather visit.

Happy Fathers Day!!

Zoo on Saturday

Saturday, we spent the day at the zoo with Granddad and Nana. We also met Uncle Matt for ice cream before we left. We had a great time. Georgia rode a pony, which was surprising and exciting. We also learned a lot about the flamingo. There is a photo of a little white one born last week.

Summer Fun

Summer is upon us and, fortunately, our community is in the process of constructing a sprayground just around the corner from us. Until then, we can go to one the is just a short drive down the road. Her is G enjoying herself one day last week.

Thursday: Zoo

Young's Dairy

We spent some time at Young's Dairy in Yellow Springs today. They had a special carnival and, for the first time, Georgia enjoyed the rides, especially the slide and ladybug. And, of course, we enjoyed the goats, cows and delicious ice cream.

Bunnies!

A family of rabbits has moved in somewhere around our house.

Class Picnic

Yesterday Georgia and I attended her class picnic at a nearby park. The park, new to us, was wonderful but a complete mudpit! The kids were a mess! I'm honestly not sure if her shoes will recover.









We are looking forward to a fun summer exploring our new home. Have a great holiday weekend!

End of the school year

Yesterday was Georgia's last day of school. Tomorrow/Thursday morning, we will meet her classmates and teacher for the class picnic. Last night, we worked on a gift for Georgia's teacher, Mrs. Black. The idea was not mine - I saw it on the Family Fun website. Georgia's handprints made a heart and Brian wrote the lyrics to a song the children sing called Love Grows.

King of the Grill

Brian cooked for the first time on the grill we received for Christmas last year. Tasty! We had a great afternoon with his parents/Granddad and Nana. After they left for home, I asked Georgia what her favorite part of the day was. She answered, "Having lunch with Granddad and Nana." That answer, after receiveing and watching the Alvin & the Chipmunks dvd, seemed pretty sweet.
