Jack and I were able to get a bike ride in between the rain showers on Saturday. We went several miles and stayed between 103rd and 111th and on both sides of Rt 59. As we were heading back home, we passed the Dairy Queen on 111th and we stopped for small cones, Jack had vanilla and I had chocolate.
Ellie had a birthday party later on Saturday. Tammy dropped her off and we all went to pick Ellie up and proceed to the Supper Club event at Camilia's. The theme this time was Southern Cooking. We all had a good time, the food was good and the game time was fun for all.
On Sunday we were meeting Tom Jr., Brooke, Tina, Keith and Cameron at Tangerine in downtown Naperville. After parking we realized that the restaurant was no longer open for business. We decided to go to Butterfield's on Ogden Avenue and were able to get a table right away. It was great to chat with everyone. After we were finished eating, the kids and I took Tom Jr. to the airport. The kids still love seeing the planes! Tammy went to visit with her parents to discuss the new house and Brooke, Tina, Keith and Cameron headed back to Morton.

Weekend adventures
It seems that the whole family was not available for our bike ride this past weekend with Ellie staying overnight at Grandma and Grandpa's and Tammy not feeling like a bike ride.
So Jack and I were on our own and rode several miles for our trip. We started by riding to Riverview Farm Forest Preserve and then south along Book Road down to just north of 127th Street. At 119th Street we noticed a lot of activity at the polo field. There was quite a crowd and the County Sheriff was at the intersection. They were nice enough to stop traffic for us when we were heading south and then again when we came back north to the forest preserve. We stopped along the DuPage River to throw a few rocks and branches into the water. There was a family walking down to the river while we were there and while Jack was watching the kids fish, I was sitting at one of the picnic tables. I looked over to see if Jack was ready to continue home and noticed he was casting one of the fishing poles. He fished for a little while and then we were on our way home.
All in all, a great time was had by the both of us and we are looking forward to our next trip, hopefully with more of the family.

It's Friday!
The weekend is almost here and I'm hoping for good weather so we can go on a family bike ride. We are planning to have a weekly family outing to keep us all connected together and to plan something that everyone will look forward to doing as a family.
