Saturday night family date fun! Woohoo!


Saturday afternoon we rescued Andy from work and headed to the beach.  It was a glorious day.  Blue sky, light breeze, warm sun... long shadows (photo by Alli).  Ahhhh.
Ruby spotted three "cowboys" at the beach (actually policemen on horseback).  We walked along the path and watched the waves crash into the wall. 
I love this spot along the lake... if you look one way you can see the uninterrupted horizon of Lake Michigan, and if you look the other way, downtown Chicago stretches high up to the sky in such a grand way.  I love the juxtaposition of the calm and the crazy... so like my life!

Alli and Ruby picked dandelion puffs and made lots of wishes (and spread lots of weed seeds).  Check out the dandelion picture that Alli took (below). 

June came too.  The golden sun lit up her beautiful blue eyes. 

I was there too.


Afterward, we went to a Lakeview neighborhood for a progressive dinner and stroll.  We stopped at a soup shop for a bowl of soup.  We got fancy soda at another place.  And we topped it off with some pizza... New York style.  Yum.
We got home, put the girls to bed and Andy and I snuggled up on the couch to watch a movie.  Such a lovely evening.

What a fun family date! Mike and I did a progressive dinner like that one time when we were at BYU and our starving student cards were about to expire.

The paparazzi will never find you under those glasses.
