Tomorrow I go back to school, which means "summer break" will be over... however "family leave" begins the next day! I have attempted to commemorate this awesome summer of 2010 with the following photo montage.
Went back to the golf course for the first time in at least 12 years. Thanks to Michael for inviting me to play with Twin Lakes Yacht Club's Scramble.
My caddy was pretty handy... and handsome too!
It was great having Kerbie and Mike complete our foursome. Lots of laughter and fun, despite the rain.
I LOVED driving the golf cart. Did you know they do go in reverse? And you really shouldn't go in reverse when someone is teeing off.
Had a fun trip to Chicago, once again in spite of some inclement weather!
We enjoyed an indoor play about the 3 Little Pigs. Then really got to town making hats, masks, puppets and block cities.
Mehandis and his Grandma keep up with one another :)
Saw elephants, dinosaurs, animal poop and many buttons to push at the Field Museum.
Had to find some money to pay for all of these events... thank goodness for Craig's List ;) Finally got our 40 pound second microwave out of the house and off the porch. Lots of other odds and ends made there way out to make room for our newest family member!
Although Michael and Mehandis did not get to travel with me to meet Abera last month, they are still key members of the team... as the bumpers proudly state.
Loved the get togethers that we had with Tizita and her family too! This summer we enjoyed kayaking, swimming, hiking, zoo time, train riding, and dancing together.
Who is this character covered cutie-pie cartoon loving child? Mehandis is such a proud and confident 3 year old. He absolutely adores anything for "Cars" and "Thomas". He has the accessories to prove it!
We have had quite a few fun celebrations with friends. Below Mehandis is cleaning his picnic table for the 4th of July party at the lake. This job kept him busy for about 45 minutes by the way.
We were enthusiastic guests at other friends' lake houses too. Here is Mehandis helping his friend Ella celebrate her 3rd birthday.
Some of the friends who joined Mehandis in "re-organizing" the basement toys on the 4th.
Onto some more of the adult fun...
My long-time friends, Maira and Sarah, and I had a ladies night out in Chicago. First with appetizers and conversation at a Mexican restaurant.
Then on to see Jon... Bon Jovi!!! What a fun and perfect night.
Below is the more typical events of my summer days...
Watching great friends and neighbors play together. Lots of train talk, car swapping, bike racing and crab walking! Love it.
