Kindergarten Drop In Day

Today was "Drop-In Day" at Gracie's school. So mommy & Gracie went to school together (so fun for mommy!!!) to meet her teachers, new classmates & get familiar with the room. She was very excited to find her cubby & her desk too. And she was very excited to see "her name" on many things in the room :) Next up...we went to a picnic in the park with all of her classmates. While Gracie made new friends, Mommy & Daddy mingled & were pleased to meet so many nice families too. Tomorrow is her first day of school & we are so excited for her & us too :)

Beach Day

Next stop...Chicago's North Avenue Beach for some fun-in-the sun with The Bough's & The Peterson's!!! We love summer in Chicago :)

Millenium Park

Gracie starts Kindergarten this week...yay!!! She'll be going to school 5 days a week which will be an adjustment for all of us :) So "us girls" decided to spend our last few summer days having fun in Chicago. First up...Millenium Park where we hung out at "The Bean". "Look mommy it's a giant jelly belly" is what Gracie said when she saw it". And then we headed to the fountain to splish & splash!!! What a fun outing before school starts :)

Family Picnic

Sunny skies & 80 degrees....a perfect day for a family picnic :)
