We're continuing to enjoy the start of summer! Erik and I went to a fun concert - Big Head Todd, a favorite from our college years! - down at Gallagher Way, which is the smaller concert stage on the Wrigley Field grounds, just outside the ballpark. What a blast!
We are knee-deep in Gavin's summer travel baseball, having 4-5 events each week (usually a couple of games and a couple of practices). But we are enjoying watching Gavin play and are having fun meeting so many new families. Baseball games are lengthy, so you spend a lot of time chatting with this same group of people day after day - it becomes a little family!

We spent an afternoon at the Botanic Garden - always beautiful here! The kids' area had a boat-making station set up for the day, so the kids kept busy crafting boats from corks and rubberbands and encouraging them to stay afloat through the little stream. We walked around the gardens, the kids rolled themselves down the big hills, and we walked through the butterfly habitat. I think my bright pink shirt must have caught their eye, as one butterfly landed on my arm and stayed put for quite a while!
