It's Hot...

Summer has arrived in Chicagoland; we have been really lucky this year with below average temperatures...until this weekend. While I don't believe we turned on our air conditioning in July...it went on yesterday and today...it's HOT.

Warrenville had their summer festival this weekend - Summer Daze. We went over to see the bands on Friday night and spend some time at the car show on Saturday. It seems that the beverage glasses got smaller this year (a factor of the poor economy?)...no worries...it didn't stop our town from having a good time!

Every Thursday night, I get together with a young girl from town as part of a local mentor program. This past Thursday, I had a baby shower, so we shifted our night to Saturday morning. We had a good time going to the Brookfield Zoo; it was a good thing we went early because it got hot quickly and the crowds grew. We only have a few more weeks 'on our own' before we meet back with the program at the mentor house...but if anyone has any ideas for 'free' activities that can take place on a Thursday night, let me know.
