Exploring the wood at the West Chicago Prairie

Warrenville Grove forest preserve had been closed for over a year (or so it seems), due to ongoing renovations. They opened up again last week & we finally got around to visiting there today. We miss the old waterfall, but it was replaced with some low rocks that made good stepping stones out in to the river, anyway.

Dropping Cole off at Jr. High Youth group at St. Peter's today I decided to take a look at this huge "giving tree". First I found Aunt Mary Lou's name then I found Colleen's name and then I found Eric and I's name. I have no idea what this was for but I guess that we donated money to it.

More Gabriele

We decided to take advantage of a Groupon & go stay a couple of days at the Chula Vista in the Dells before school starts next week.

This has become Gianni's favorite time of day - when he gets to go in and get Gabriele up!

We'd bought some shrubberies on clearance from Ace Hardware over a week ago, trying to start to fill in the space where our big tree used to be. Finally got around to planting them today. We still have to decide what tree to put back in that space.

The new roommates (minus one-who isn't moving in until tomorrow). And, Vaughn's car needed a lot of work done on it and it was going to cost too much money so, he sold it to an auto wrecker.

I always like how the Batavia water tower looks from this angle, on my way to work.

Shel's been making a variety of weapons from household objects lately. Today, it was a bow & arrow from an old plastic hanger & a wooden rod
