Kick off to Summer Festivals

One thing I love about living in Chicago is all the neighborhood festivals that fill up the summer weekends. Food, music, beer, sunshine, what more could you ask for? Rob and I have great memories of going to all the fests in years past, and this summer is the first year we're attempting these with toddlers in tow. Next weekend we're hoping to check out daddy's all time favorite: Rib Fest!

Today we headed out to Aunt Kari's & Uncle Jay's neighborhood. Aunt Kari is doing pretty well post-surgery, looked great and is really being such a trooper. To let her rest and keep Katie entertained, the rest of us headed down the street to enjoy the festival going on. All three girls had a good time, as it was a kid-friendly fest complete with ice cream, kid's music and balloons.
