Gilliam Family: Best Summer Yet!

We have had an awesome summer so far. We love getting out and enjoying the city, being outside and visiting family and friends. It has been so much fun to watch Zander and Zaiden as they grow. They are truly best friends (and best enemies at times)! They love to play together and make each other laugh. Zander loves to teach Zaiden all he knows. Luckily, I (mom) only work 3 days/week which leaves a lot of time to get out and have fun. Our summer started with a yoga class, many trips to the library and once the weather began to get nice - spending most days at the parks. We love to try different parks and bring our own picnic lunch to finish it off. We have also had a lot of fun outings including trips to the zoo, beach, pools, spash pad, Day out with Thomas, downtown to Maggie Daley park and the Adler planetarium. We also made a trip back to Wisconsin to celebrate the 4th of July. We hope to finish off the summer with some more trips to the pool and beach and are looking forward to all things fall.
