a st. pat's picnic

We're having gorgeous March weather here in Evanston and it looks like it's going to stick around through next week too! To celebrate St. Patrick's day and the sunshine, we packed up a picnic and headed out for dinner and play.

Pepperoni grilled cheese and some fruit were on the dinner menu, then it was time to play.

dare. devil.

NOT a dare.devil...just silly

Then E disappeared in the rocks...this is where we found him.

He'd found himself a little Bat Cave of sorts.

school's out for summer!

We reached the end of the school year and M has "graduated" to become a Firefly! He had such wonderful experiences at school this year. From the friends that introduced the world of superheros to him to the teachers and what he learned, we couldn't have asked for more. We all celebrated the start of summer with a picnic at the park...a very cold picnic at the park.

 E had fun too!

Who's up for a beachside picnic?

It's Memorial Day weekend, the weather is perfect, Aunt Dana is in town...Yep, time for a picnic.

Sometimes, I wish we had a backyard, but then I realize that we wouldn't have gone out to the beach if we did...so it's not so bad today.  It was a truly beautiful backdrop for some quality time with family and friends.
