Early Summer 2023

Summer has begun.  Boys are in summer school for an elective course on finance that is giving them an early look at what life will be like in High School this fall.  Gloria has been busy with various camps.  We made some good use of some long weekends to make excursions to visit grandparents and have other fun too.


Gloria and Chad at the new version of the Little Mermaid.  We loved it!

We headed out for Father's Day weekend to Iowa.


We had a fun excursion in Iowa to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library.





































Such a nice visit to Iowa.

We checked out the new Van Gogh exhibit at the Art Institute and really enjoyed it!

We had a nice chance to reconnect with Bernadette and Julianna.  



We got the gargoyles all dressed up for the Fourth.


We spent a night up at the Lake Lawn Resort at Lake Delavan, where we rented a boat for an hour.  We did this a couple years back and knew we wanted to return for more fun.
