A Beautiful Day at the Beach

Today Joshua and I met a few of my friends from MOPS at Millennium Park for a morning of fun. The kids ran around in the splash pad portion of the park for a few minutes before we headed off to sit on the beach and play in the lake. Joshua of course hated the splash pad the minute a sprinkler got him wet, but was happy to go splash around in the lake. He is still trying to get over the cold he got after we came home from camping last week so he was still a bit clingy. You'll hear no complaints from me as I cuddled him in a towel on the beach! It was so nice, as the kids played in the sand and water we moms had some time to catch up with each other. After a little picnic lunch we headed home so Joshua could take a much needed nap. If you've never been to Millennium Park you should give it a try. The beach is very nice, the water is shallow and warm and the beach house is clean. A nice little get-away in the city!
