And they're off...

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.

4th of July

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.

Sunday we drove down to Lafayette. We had a nice dinner with Grandma Chris, Kendra, Harriett and Maryann. That night we found the perfect spot to see the fireworks with Josh, at the Triple XXX.

Monday we dropped the kids at Conner Prairie camp with their cousins. We'll see them again on Saturday.

Our Rising Stars

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.

Happy Father's Day

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.

Looking tough?

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.

Rain, rain, go away!

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.

Kindergarten Graduation

Zach's Kindergarten "Celebration" was today. They did a very nice performance and received their certificates. We are sad to see their principal, Jolene Hillgoth, leave after this year. She's pictured here giving Zach his certificate.
