What Saturday Morning Looks Like

Summer

Summer is coming to a close here in Illinois, but this weekend we soaked up just a bit more of it out on the front steps with some sidewalk chalk and some laughs. Notice the "cheese face" that is becoming a Max staple.

Goofing off:

Checking out the damage:

Somehow, it always ends up being me drawing and Max telling me what to draw:

Hey, I DO exist!:

Max took this one:

Cheese Please!

Refrigerator Art

Donuts. According to Max.

(he just ate the icing off the top and left the rest)

Grammie and the Zoo

Hey that sounds like the title of a children's book! But it's not. Just the title of our weekend. Grammie came up to see us for her birthday (wasn't that nice of her?), and we had a lot of fun. We have been planning to take Max to the zoo all summer but the weather or road trips or whatever kept getting in the way. But we finally made it happen this weekend! Max was feeling a little under the weather but he still enjoyed it (except that there are no elephants at Lincoln Park Zoo! What?!?!)

Max at the zoo:

We saw this guy: 

Max really liked these guys: 

I really liked this guy. "Hey, how you doin?"

That night we celebrated Grammie's birthday:

Thanks for coming to visit and sharing your birthday with us, Grammie!

Presents from Grammie!

Grammie is here! You know what that means....presents for Max! He was very excited about them, too.









Tomorrow we are going to the zoo. Max is going to LOVE it. Can't wait. Check back soon!

Meet me in Lake County, County. Meet me at the fair!!

So it doesn't quite have the same ring, but we had a great time at the Lake County Fair this weekend.

Max loved riding a pony...


And feeding the animals....


And meeting this guy....


And the goats liked Adam...


And we played games...


And rode rides...


And saw new things...


And, of course, ate fair food...


And took one last look at the lights before heading off to bed...


What a GREAT day!!!
