This little summer…(Post XI)

This will be my last post about our summer in Chicago. We had such a good experience there and I absolutely loved it. I'm so grateful to have been able to spend time with Scott and Sandy. They took such good care of us and it definitely felt like home. :) 

This last post is a bit more random. I have a lot of photos left over that I think are important parts of our awesome summer. :) Here's my last hurrah to Summer 2013. :) 

Bri and I took several bike rides since Naperville has awesome trails.
It's so green and warm! I miss it!

I also learned how to mow the lawn!! It was quite exciting and it got
even more exciting when I learned how to use the riding mower.
Scott and Sandy were very brave and patient to let me do that…:)

Bri was training for his half marathon. I helped by riding my
bike behind him. :) 

I can't leave out our experiences with Callie the Dog…
Her and Bri are definitely best friends. 

But during the day it was me that she'd follow around. :) 

We definitely got some pool time in. :)

Callie's life. Watching for squirrels and people and dogs. 

Bri was assigned as the Deacon's quorum advisor.
I'm sure they loved him. :)

Callie and I, bonding over our mutual laziness…:)

Bri got pretty good at hiding to scare me. Sneaky, right? 

Bri and Callie have a strange relationship...

This is a good example of mine and Callie's relationship…Hogging the bed, even when I'm trying to make it…:)

We miss Callie. :)

I miss this beautiful prairie path that we would run/bike on. Such a beautiful place. :) 

Bri had to break in for some friends. I'm not sure where he learned such a skill…

We also went to the John Mayer concert.
We loved it!! He's so good. :) 

We had a great spot. :)

Phillip Phillips opened the show. He was awesome! :) 

It was a perfect night for a concert! :) 

John Mayer! :)

I loved spending the summer with this cute boy. :)

Just a typical Sunday afternoon activity…:)

Another typical Sunday afternoon activity. :) 

This is Callie's typical activity, everyday. 

We had some interesting train rides
into the city…I liked looking for the graffiti. 

I also liked to look for interesting buildings. There were a lot. :) 

:)

We had a perfect summer in Chicago. It was sad to leave. But I'm glad that we have so many great memories. :)
