July 2013

 We've done a lot since Patrick's birthday in early July.  Of course not all of it got captured in photos.  We went to Brookfield Zoo, Ryan and I hit Six Flags, we visited multiple parks, the boys finished swim lessons, and Ryan did summer camp, a picnic here and there, as well as a birthday (and tree-house building) party also rounded out our festivities.  For those events I did manage to photograph, enjoy!

 I was fouled!!!!!!

We made a trip out to Santa's Village in Dundee and had an awesome time - until naptime came upon us.  The boys loved the rides and we plan on making one more trip there before they close in October.

Anticipating "the whip"

Other than sign-language and Your Baby Can Read videos, we don't put movies in for the boys.  As a special treat one particularly hot day, we got Cars from the library.  Both boys enjoyed the movie, watching it on the rotated couch, while eating popcorn.

Fall doesn't officially start until the end of September, but the first day of school kind of puts summer to an unoffical end.  Here's Ryan before heading off to his first (afternoon) day of E.C. at Hooper.
