Summer Fun in August

swimming at our friend's neighborhood pool
Aug 3rd 


later that evening we went to the Zoo for "Jungle Boogie" Free Friday Night Concerts!

yummy dinner with fun music
these two certainly love each other!
Aug 5th
the boys and I drove up to Springfield, IL for a fun day at the Lincoln Museum
Aug 6th
this was in the children's section of the museum - fun dress up and toys




on to the rest of the museum to learn more about Lincoln as a boy and his road to the White House


Illinois State Capitol
Lincoln's tomb
rub his nose for good luck!

walking around the tomb - it was a beautiful day!
taking a break in the shade before getting back in the car to drive home!

Magic House & Lantern Festival

we spent the morning at the Magic House
Aug 2nd


in the evening, Zeke & I went on a date to the Lantern Festival - I finally got to see everything lit up!
First we watched a Chinese acrobatic troupe - the lady is balancing/juggling a table with her legs
amazing acrobatics!


now onto the beautiful lanterns all lit up!























it really was amazing - definitely one of the highlights of my summer!
