We went to the beach. The Blue Angels were practicing. It was really cool. I was pretty anti-airshows, but seeing them perform over Lake Michigan and the city skyline was pretty cool.
We had a lot of fun at the lake. The water was so blue and pretty. Leah found an impressive amount of sea glass for her Mama. They had a lot of fun playing in the water and eating ice cream.
On the way back, it was melt down central. I forgot to pack my phone charger, and we kind of needed it since the parking app was on my phone. So, Chris had to go into Walgreens to track one down for me. We had the giant stroller and a ton of gear from the beach, so we waited outside. Leah and Juliet started arguing and being bratty about wanting to go back to the American Girl store. I was so fed up and done and it was taking Chris forever since there was a lot of people in the store. A homeless man started talking to me about how he had no shoes, and I needed to not judge him and to give from the heart. I didn't really know what to say, and both kids were crying and whining and I was ready to poke my eyes out. I think Juliet could sense my level of "doneness" and was hamming it up. I love this picture.
We went to Ginos for dinner. It was kind of a lot to manage them and the paint and their level of sassiness, but it was good. We told them that the rules of the restaurant were that you couldn't paint after the food came, and that worked well. Also, the three glasses of Rose I drank with dinner were also pretty helpful. :)
