Memorial Recap

Summer came in hot (literally) this weekend. 

We started the weekend off with Leo's end-of-the-year party. 

 

In typical Leo fashion, he talked about going to the petting zoo all week - and then once we got there was super over all of the animals. Can't blame him. 

And his sister didn't last much longer, so after about an hour and a half, we booted out of there.  

Friday after naps, Leo had his first swim lesson.

He cried pretty much the entire lesson, but he really started to get the hang of "kicking and scooping". He's going to take two, thirty minute private lessons all summer long, so I really, really hope we see some major skills developed.

Friday night my girlfriend Jenna came over, we grilled turkey burgers, went to the Freeze for ice cream, and then fell asleep on the couch after watching Ali Wong on Netflix.

 

Saturday morning we got in a family run, and then after a few errands, Joel and I headed into the city for a Cubs game.

We ended up parking at our friends place, so we got to enjoy happy hour with Sara and Sean who are only a few weeks away from having their first baby.  

 

We took an Uber to the game and had just the best time. Our seats were perfect, the weather was perfect, we got to totally enjoy our beer and hot dog....it was such a fun evening.  

 

 Sunday morning I took the kids over to my parents because my sister came in from the city, and we took everyone out on our first boat ride of the season.

 

 

We spent the rest of the day at my parents and then walked over to our neighbors for a BBQ that night. 

Joel took the kids home a little early so I could stay and have another glass of wine which was an awfully nice treat.

 Monday we got in a long walk and then headed to my parents country club for their Memorial Day party.

Drew loved the water....Leo was a little nervous at first that it was going to turn into a swim lesson...but everyone ended up having a great time spending the afternoon in the pool. 

We had an early dinner at the club, got home really early, stuck everyone in a bath, and ended the weekend on a perfect note - with the premier for the Bachelorette ;)
