A Brief Recap

It's been a pretty busy couple of weeks! Here are some highlights from our little corner of the world I haven't mentioned...

Last Friday (6/28) we went to the Blackhawks parade and rally! p.s. Thank you Metra for the super cheap "special event" fare that day.

Then on Saturday we went to Indiana for a Mother's Day/Father's Day/Sister's BDay dinner. Sis just got a new (to her) Jeep - here's a picture I texted to her of me hanging out beside it as she waited inside the restaurant:

On July 3rd we went to cheer on the White Sox to victory defeat. It began with a very slight rain delay, but the weather turned out to be beautiful, and the fireworks after the game were awesome.

Look who/what else showed up!

We celebrated July 4th by going to see "Monsters University" (not as brilliant as the first, but a fun flick). After the movie, from the parking lot of the theater we were able to watch another fireworks display (and in the distance the fireworks from 5-6 other townships; ah, suburbia).

July 6th - we went to see "Fiddler on the Roof," presented by one of the local community theaters. We can boast that we know the star of the show (along with several other cast & crew members)! It was an excellent production.

And then of course there was the baking of the chocolate cinnamon bread, which is hard to top. What will this week bring?
