Early Saturday morning we left the flooded lands of Brookfield and headed north. We met the Spanglers, Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Julie at Arcadia Daze on the way up. That night Uncle Todd, Aunt Debbie and Cousin Tanner joined us for dinner and took the kids kneeboarding. 
Meg is going to girl scout camp this week with some of her friends. They take the train each day and then a bus takes them to camp. She was pretty excited.
Our kidless week came to an end Saturday. They had a great time at camp and we had alot of fun here. On the way home we stopped at the Midwest Sky Fest in Kentland and the kids got airborne!
We had a whirlwind 4th of July weekend. Saturday morning we enjoyed the Brookfield Parade. That evening we had a great time at Mass on the Grass and the outdoor concert at St. Cletus Parish.
This week Meg and Zach went to St. Cletus Vacation Bible Camp in the mornings and Rising Stars in the afternoons. Friday night they had their first show choir performance. It was a trip to watch the kids on stage singing "Its a Hard Knock Life". Meg had a special part where she showed off her gymnastics in "You ain't never had a Friend like me" . They also sang and "Shake, Rattle and Roll". It was a cute concert.
We hope everyone has a Happy Father's Day. We hiked Matthiessen State Park near Starved Rock and enjoyed the many waterfalls. Now its to grill out and relax.
I believe this is supposed to be a picture of the boys looking tough at Zach's birthday party. Zach had a great time Friday with 25 of his closest friends partying at the MAX. They played floor hockey and dodgeball and then played in the inflatables. We did a combined party with another boy from his class and it worked out perfectly.
Saturday morning was the La Grange Pet Parade. We spent a couple hours in the rain waiting for our turn to walk. The kids were drenched, but it wasn't cold so they thought it was great. After representing St. Cletus in the parade we went to the Carnival with some friends.
