Jade kicked off summer with her 8th Grade class trip to Washington D.C. We dropped her off at the school at 3:45 am on a Thursday and picked her up at 11:00 pm on Sunday! They crammed so much in and she had a blast! No parent chaperones, only teachers got to go with.
While Jade was gone, I took Jemma and her bestie Liesl to the SlooMoo Institute in Chicago! They had so much fun playing with slimes of all textures and scents and even got to make their own slimes at the end!
Mom and Aunt Mar treated me (and Jemma) to lunch at Cooper's Hawk for my birthday! It was so good!
The day after Jade got back from D.C. was my 40th birthday! She spent most of the day recovering while Jemma and I cashed in on several of my birthday freebies! For dinner I picked a new Mexican restaurant to try and it was so good! We rounded out the day with cookie cake and ice cream! Nate and I celebrated my birthday with a weekend getaway to Sedona (separate post coming on that).
Katie and Lauren treated me to a day in Lake Geneva! We made our own candles at the Candle Mercantile and then had a waterfront dinner at Pier 290 in Williams Bay.
We had our annual strawberry picking day at Heider's Berry Farm with Grammy! This year we picked some raspberries, too!
Nate and I went to our second Morgan Wallen concert of the year, this time at Soldier Field in Chicago with friends! We got to see Ella Langley as the opener this time, which I loved!
We celebrated Nate and Grampy with a Father's Day lunch at Station One Smokehouse in Plainfield! SO good!
Jemma and I went on a hunt for all the painted dogs in downtown Naperville! We found all except for one, which we later learned was inside a store.
We saw Toy Story 5 and successfully completed our quest to finish a large popcorn so we could get a refill. :)
