Now onto the good stuff. When Gary and I first moved to Chicago I had no idea there were miles and miles of beach! We discovered Lake Shore Drive the first week we were here and it immediately went up to the top of the list of favorite things to do here (at least for five months of the year). My friend Heidi lives pretty close to the popular North Avenue Beach so I parked at her house and we walked over. Check out Bryker and Claire. They have so much fun together. Both of their personalities are so funny. They are only six weeks apart and both of their dads are in the ortho program here in Chicago (which means both of their moms have survived their entire marriages living the student life!). Needless to say, we relate well! Bryker and Claire even have nicknames for each other. Claire is officially known as "Claire-Bear" at our house and anytime Claire is around, Bryker is "Marker."
Overall, we had a great day at the beach. Except for when Bryker threw his ball into the lake and then went in himself to get it. Don't worry - I pulled off a "Baywatch" save. Then a big wind storm kicked up and the stroller tipped over and hit Bryker in the head. He was talking about both episodes for days! Other than that...it was great. Cute little Oliver joined us towards the end, but after so much fun, my camera was buried (in my bag, not the sand). But I'm sure there will be more beach days ahead.
