Sunny Saturday

Right now I am sitting out on the patio on our new swing that we found on craigslist. It's nice and sunny, great morning to be outside. I took some pictures of the irises on the side of our house that we planted a few years ago. They are a pretty mixture of purple (Japanese), yellow, and burgandy irises. We have some yellow ones out front as well. The flowers we planted along fence and the plants that we replanted along the side and back of the house look good. Along with the flowers in the potters on our patio. However, the flowers in the pot on our front porch are taking a beating thanks to the squirrels.

This weekend is the Irish fest at Gaelic Park, so we are hoping to head over there at some point and check it out, since we have never been there. We have tickets for the Sox game tonight. We're planning to go down around 3 or 4 to tailgate before the game. We're taking our Little Joe (baby Weber grill) and grilling brats. We're also going to throw some bags (cornhole). The weather forecast for the afternoon/evening is showers, so I hoping they are wrong. Kevin's parents are going with us for Kileigh's first baseball game. She's already been to a Hawks game and an Illini basketball game, now this fall we'll have to take her to a football game.

So I saved the best for last. Yesterday was a big day for Kileigh. She held her bottle for the first time and went from just scooting to actual crawling. She was only using her left side which made her look funny while she was doing it, but whatever works. We took Kileigh over to Kevin's parents yesterday afternoon, so we could go out with Jen & Jon. I am sure Kileigh had fun and a few pics were taken too.

After dropping Kileigh off, we picked Jen & Jon up and went to a carnival by their house that was in the Meijer parking lot in Bolingbrook. After walking around, riding the bumper cars, and eating a funnel cake, we decided that we had had enough. Besides one can only handle so much from teenagers who cut in line and call people names. After having dessert, we decided it was time for dinner. We headed over to Home Run Inn for some pizza, but then we saw that for $12.99 per person we could have the pizza feast which included salad, appetizers (cheese sticks, toasted ravioli, chicken fingers, cheesy garlic bread, and pizza. Cheezy garlic bread = YUM!! We each only had one piece of pizza and were officially stuffed. We headed back to Jen & Jon's and dropped our leftovers off and grabbed socks. Then we went to Brunswick Zone for some bowling. They had a 99 cent per person per game special going on, so that was a pretty good deal. We ended up bowling 3 games. There were a few strikes and a few spares spread out amongst us, and quite a few gutter balls as well. A good time was had by all.

More weekend update later. Happy Saturday!
