Tuesday: Bean and Beach

We cruised down to visit the bean in Millennium Park

 We looked at it up close

Taascia didn't understand what the kids meant when they wanted to "play in the big fountains with faces that spit"

 Now she gets it

 Sam led us over to see a different fountain and hear a jazz band

Who will manage Alice's cute hairstyles when Taascia leaves?

Then back home - playing Harry Potter with robes and wands

 In the evening, a beach picnic!

 Simone watching Alice dig

 Alice dug a really DEEP hole

 Look who joined us!  Georgia, June and....

their baby brother, a spectacular Elvis impersonator! 

 Lots of sand

 Lots of water

 Lots of running

Yet look at this calm mother watching her young children frolic in the waves.  Her life must be this easy everyday...

 

Sam and Timmy relax in the surf

 Taascia and Junie

All the kids- fun, fun, fun!
