Summer's Not Over Yet!

So just when you think that summer is over in Chicago, we get a heat wave! And of course, we took advantage of it and the fact that I am still not back at work. On Tuesday Charlotte and I walked down to the beach for mainly sand play, until Charlotte saw a dog near the water. Of course this meant that Charlotte wanted to go see the dog, and thus going to see the dog meant that she saw the water and thus wanted to get in. Now before commenting on how could we go to the beach and Charlotte not notice the water at first, I'll explain. We went to the big beach (Loyola Park) and sat far enough away from the water that it wasn't so tempting. Plus where we sat we were on a slight incline so while we sat we couldn't see the waves lapping up onto the beach, plus I had Charlotte very occupied with the sand!




On Wednesday we headed to GiGi and Bopa's for Foster Family Fun Day. They too thought summer in Chicago was over as they had deflated the pool. It didn't take long to set it back up and for Charlotte to enjoy it!



She is just so cute in this shot!
