happy independence day!

we had a pretty quiet july 4th weekend this year. it's always so nice to stay in chicago while the entire city goes other places. it's almost like we have the city to ourselves.

luke celebrated the day by playing some music on his favorite toy these days (the Leap Frog Learn and Groove music table - this is the first place he goes in the morning during playtime).

and then we headed out to visit the bowman family in their new home in oak park for a little pool time. grant and luke had a great time splashing around and staying cool.

and it wouldn't be a weekend if we didn't head to the swings and splash pad!
