Summer Fun

It is now August and we have not posted in a while, so I wanted to give one big update about all the things the Gilliam family has been up to this summer. Zander is enjoying having more "mommy time" over the summer as Jazzie is only working 2-3 days a week (summer break from the schools). Most of those days include a trip to the park (we have over 20 parks/playgrounds within a 2 mile jog!),  library and a few other fun outings.  Zeb has been able to join us on a few afternoons and of course spending family time over he weekends. We have also had some friends visit us over the summer and have done some traveling ourselves to see family and friends. So far it has been a very busy and fun summer that is going by way to fast!


Zander loves cars and trucks so he loved the 4th of July parade in Shullsbury

A few fun photos playing in the dirt (right before he ate a handful!) at Grandma and Grandpa's house
 

Pool day! It took him some time to get used to the cold water, but had fun after

Hanging out at our church festival

Some of the parks have fountains and splash pads that he loves to explore

Lake front run followed by a trip to the Lincoln Park zoo for mommy's birthday!

 
We also made a trip to the Milwaukee zoo this summer
