I finally made it to the beach in Chicago! After a collective 9 years here this is the very first time I’ve ever been to the beach just to hang out in the sand and water. Sure, I’ve walked and biked the paths and seen the Air & Water show but with the help of our little deck of cards and my kids love of the beach we spent a couple hours splashing in the water at North Avenue Beach on this super hot Chicago day…it was a great morning!
Of course I have to throw in a few photos of my little guy splashing around the lake. The last time he was in sand all he wanted to do was eat it, so I was very happy to see him having a blast throwing himself into the water and crawling around…he couldn’t have been happier!
And Miss Avery loved taking in the view of our beautiful city from the pedestrian bridge over LSD…saying “mommy, this view sure is beautiful.”  I couldn’t agree more:)
