Today we decided to head downtown to see the planes practicing for the Chicago Air and Water Show. We visited the Federal Reserve Money Museum, Daley Plaza, Mag Mile, Fountains, Millenium Park and enjoyed the Grant Park Symphony and Chorus performing Verdi's Requiem.

Chicago Botanic Gardens

UntitledThis morning we headed north to enjoy the Gardens. We had a beautiful walk and found some areas we hadn't explored before. We had planned to hit the pool in the afternoon, but rain spoiled our plans... maybe tomorrow.

Meg enjoyed her first week of travel soccer. Of course the best part was all the cool uniforms she received at the end of the week... pictures to come soon.

Soccer Camp

UntitledThe kids had a great time this week at soccer camp, despite the heat. They learned alot from some great coaches.

Wednesday we took a little break from camp and used the free passes they earned to Six Flags. It was busier than we expected, but we still had a good time.
