Waahahaha

She is loud. Playing peek-a-boo. Warning, loud. I've warned you twice now!

The Dunes

We took a day trip up north, about an hour from Chicago to the Indiana Dunes National Park. Lovely place with a great beach - even if it is on Lake Michigan. There are also some nice hiking trails but try telling that to a 22 month old. Anyway, here are a couple of photos and a link to the gallery:

I'm pretty sure she'd live in sand if I let her.

Oh, hello there!

Even Indiana has decent beaches. Who needs the coast?

Looking like a big kid. :(

In sort of remotely related news: this year we're having Charlotte's 2nd birthday party at a State Park here in town so that should be exciting!

Look, an update!

It's been over a month so I figured it was time for an update. A couple weeks ago we went down to TN. We had a great time, as always! We enjoyed a boat ride, the zoo, a museum,lots of delicious food, and wonderful hospitality (like usual!). Here are the pictures from our visit:

And some highlights:

Playing in the park


At the Knoxville Zoo (with a friendly baby camel!)


This resulted in a complete outfit change and a very angry Charlotte (because we had the NERVE to take her out of the water)

She also got to play in a lake for the first time which she really enjoyed. Not a whole lot more has happened. Her birthday's coming up soon, so that's something exciting to look forward to! Her favorite things right now are dinosaurs, cars, balls, and counting.

Happy Father's Day! (a few days early)
