WHERE HAS SUMMER GONE?!?!

Ok, so it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. (Ok, a month...whatever). We've been pretty busy. The kids got to go horseback riding. Raven's Kids Hope mentor, Karen, has a son who works at a barn and they let the kids ride Carmel for a while. They loved it, except now they've been bugging me for a horse and lessons!!

We also went to the beach a couple of times. I really LOVE Millenium Park. I think that I'm going to buy a season pass next year, we went almost enough times this year to pay for it and if I buy one, I'll definitely go.

Last Saturday we drove to Detroit with my dad to go to the Henry Ford Museum. We were supposed to go with Pam, but that's another story. The kids really liked it, so did Dad and I. We want to go to Greenfield Village next time. They got to see old cars, go in a train, see the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile, and of course the Chocolate exhibit!!

We're now getting ready for school to start. But it wouldn't be my family if Michael didn't have some catastrophe! The other day he was playing with Zach, my daycare lady's 19 year old son, with wooden training samori swords. Well things were going well until Zach's sword slipped and hit Michael right above the eye! He's alright, but he had to get eight stitches.

That's about our excitement. Here's the pics of the last few weeks.
