John Ball Park Zoo

One day we discoverd that both Jake and I had the day off. We packed a picnic and drove to Grand Rapids to visit the zoo. We had a great time. The girls got to see tiger, goats, lions, bears, frogs, fishes and they got to pet a snake, possom and other animals. They loved it....

PICNIC IN GRAND HAVEN

The local twin club had planed a family picnic, but it rained all day. But I had all this food, so when it stoped raining later in the day - we got all in the car and drove to the park. We had a great time with food, walk, a view of Lake Michigan and fun at the playground. Our oldest nephew Jonathon was visiting that weekend and came with us to the playground. Even big kids like him and Jake can have fun at the playground!

Summer Fest in Somonauk, Illinois.

......after our day in Chicago (post below) we drove to Somonauk to spend the night at the farm before driveing back north to Michigan. But we lucked out - this was the weekend of The 2nd annual Summer Fest in Somonauk. So we got to see the parade ( almost the same as the 4th of July - but better) and eat junk food.
