Laowai

We went to the beach and did some nice swimming.

Bea would swim all day everyday if she could.

Grandma has a little cling-on named Claire.

Bea is helping Claire jump over waves.

We went for a walk at Fort Sheridan. It was cloudy and hot.

Cooling my toes.

We picked up stones – this beach has the best stones – smooth and pretty and great for painting.

The meadow at Fort Sheridan was buzzing!

We went to the botanic garden (or potanic garden if you pronounce it like Claire does).

The girls really like the sensory garden where you can touch and smell lots of unusual plants – like that soft one below.

Grandma’s hat matched the begonias.

Swiss Chard!

We enjoyed a picnic and concert at Ravinia – here we are making goofy faces.
