A Little More Water, A Little More Music

Though Saturday morning showers rained out any trip to the beach or pool, Saturday afternoon cleared up enough for us to head to the water.

At the Lee Street Beach Sylvia worked the afternoon away on an ever-collapsing hole in the sand, while Darcie and Chris were instructed to get 'mo wata! Mo wata!' Though the sky was still cloudy, Chris was just hot enough to take his first full dunk in Lake Michigan this season.

On Sunday Darcie ran ten miles while Chris and Sylvia kicked a ball around. Then it was off to the Skokie pool.
At the pool, Sylvia was more brave than ever - walking right in up to her neck. She also let Darcie and Chris take her into the water park for some splashing.

After a good nap (for everyone) we went to our old neighborhood, Lincoln Square for the Folk and Roots Festival. We met up with Amanda, Sabrina, and Nathan and heard some good fiddling. Sylvia also got to try her hand at playing a ukulele (she was pretty good).

Love the cap at the beach. I didn't realize that it was a year-round accessory.

Yeah, we didn't either, but she's convinced that it protects her head from the sun better than her other hats.
