Summer trip to Chicago

We really enjoyed summertime in Chicago, the kids were able to spend some quality time with the Grandparents and Great Grandparents on the Lemon side as well as a day trip to the Shedd Aquarium with Grandma Sassy and Grandpa Mike.  The impetus of the trip was my brother Matt's wedding, which was a beautiful, kid-free event. 

May fun

Charles and Charlie had a blast watching Bella drive construction equipment at Dozer days.
