Fun stuff in Chicago!

This is a great time of year in Chicago! The beaches are still open until Labor Day, and the weather is mostly wonderful. There are neighborhood festivals almost every weekend, somewhere in the city. This weekend we went to the Greek Fest at St. Demetrios Church. They sure know how to party! And we thought Lutherans were cool with their Oktoberfests! Ha! The Greek Fest was a rockin' good time with a band, Ouzo shots, Greek wine, baklava, and every kind of Greek food you could want.

Last weekend we took advantage of a lovely day and walked down 55th street to the Point. This is one of my favorite spots!

Here are the guys, standing at Lake Michigan with the Chicago skyline in the background.

La Leche League International kicked off its 50th anniversary year with a picnic in Wilder Park - the same park where the 7 Founders met for the first meeting! I was so excited to live close enough to be there.

Here they are! All 7 Founders. Amazing that they are all still able to be here for the celebration.

Wilder Park!

Here I am with two of the founders of LLLI: Betty Wagner is on the left - not sure which one is one the right! Oops!
