Zoo Camp!

Finn and Hayden, ready for adventure.

The Cousins Were Here

Jamie and Dena and their five boys--Colin, Kyle, Cameron, Ryan, and Nathan--came to visit.  Finn anticipated this event more than anything else in his life so far, more than Christmas!  It was like a five day all-boy party.  We jammed in as many Chicago sights as we could--dragging them exhaustedly throughout the city.  They doted on Wylie and let Finn feel like one of the gang.  It was perfect!

Balloon Jet

Thanks to Parents magazine for helping me feel like an over-achiever Mom!  Luckily this project required a very small list of supplies: balloons, string, masking tape, and straws.  So, with minimal effort, Finn and I had some fun experimenting with flying balloons.

Concert in the Park

Finally a Sunday evening spent in Scoville Park, listening to music, yahoo!  And with the Clark family, even better.  

Finn is a truly sweet brother, sharing his popsicle, voluntarily.

And then Graham was willing to share his spot in the stroller, so Wylie could hang out with Elsie and play with the buckles.
