Urban playground

All the kids

This week has been a constant reminder of why I love living in Chicago. Not only have all the summer activities begun, but the weather has been glorious. My favorite forecast is "mostly sunny-mid 80's inland, 10 degrees cooler at the lakefront" (that's us). The air feels wonderfully cool and fresh making you never want to go inside.

Luckily Chicago is packed with summer events, festivals, concerts, etc.! On Friday we were able to see a kids concert in the morning at Millennium Park where we then played at the bean (cloudgate) and in the Crown Fountain and had a picnic lunch with friends Heather & Braden. Then last night the Grant Park Music Festival opened and we heard world-class classical music while dining on the lawn underneath the Frank Gehry architecture with friends Alex, Jyothi, Asha & Ryan, Heather & Braden. Couldn't have been better.

It is nice that Chicago gets a few pick days out of the year when it is not freezing or blistering one's backside. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
