Out with the Girls

 
When you get a call at 8:30 on a Saturday morning...
Auntie Penny, can I come over?  You do what I did...
"Yes, that's a great idea!"
We headed off with the best Uncle in the world,
to have some fun.
First stop, The Grove in Glenview, Illinois.

 
It's a beautiful nature center right of busy Milwaukee Avenue.

 
Sometimes, in a hurry to get going, shoes are placed on the wrong feet...
Uncle took care of that.

 
This is my little bird and our little bug.  Sisters!
The "bird" starts kindergarten this week!
She is so ready.  I can't wait to hear the stories, and there
will be stories!

 
Someone once told my Mother that this guy didn't like children...
What?!  They love him so much, and he in turn is
marshmallow...

 
I feel this in my bones this morning...but 
it was pure joy wandering the
the woods with these guys.
After lunch, we headed to the beach...
 It was a long ride as far as the girls were concerned...
at one point the bird asked, "Are we in New York?"

 
They were crazy for the sand...

 
On this perfect beach day...
Sunny, hot, with a cool breeze off the Lake.

 
We got our feet wet in the surf...

 
We sure got a workout, but what a great day.  Have a great Sunday my friends.

Such wonderful auntie/uncle you are . . . Love the "strolling" pics . . . and the blue sky. Such perfect summer weather it has been.

What a sweet aunt and uncle these girls have! Oh my goodness, I remember The Grove from way back when Brian and I were newlyweds and renting an apartment on Milwaukee Avenue!
