4th of July

Busy Weekend!

On the 3rd,  we went down to Chicago to see the fireworks from our friend's, the Bereks, boat.  It was real cool--but Josh was a handful.  He just wanted to move around.  Being on a boat wasn't to his liking becuase he couldn't run.  Finally, Margaret gave me a 'leash' and I put it on him so he could run up and down the dock.  He stayed awake through the fireworks but cuddled up to me through the fireworks and promptly fell asleep on the way home.

For some reason, Mikayla kept saying 'Quit panicking mom' from the time we showed up.  I'm not sure why, becuase for once I wasn't panicking.

On the 4th, we went to the Pattens.  It was rainy most of the day but it cleared up and the kids were able to play in the baby pool.  By the end of the day, the kids were absolutely pooped.

On the 5th we spent a little time at the Spray Park.  Mikayla swam a little in Lake Zurich.  I think she's finally letting go of some of her fears for swimming.  Two weeks of swimming lessons have really seemed to help her.
