I have no clue how I will ever catch up on my reading list. I read all the time and eery time I think I am done, I had 10 more to my list. I am going go to say that is an unattainable goal. Right now my brain in back in school mode. I am trying to find books that I can use with my class. I am reading a book called The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. It seems like a great book, but I think it is a little too racy for me to teach. I'm still looking for the perfect 7th grade novel in case anyone out there knows it!
The other day, my sister and I went to the Lakefront and walked around for a bit. We took a bunch of pictures for photo locations. My sister has an amazing eye. She took some AWESOME pictures of my son playing in the lake, playing at a park, just experiencing life. I don't know how I can ever repay her for capturing these moments. While we were there, my sister was helping me with some of the settings on my camera. I am still working on it, but these are the pics just from my phone.
My cousin and I decided we needed to start doing somethings. We went to a brewery on the south side. It is called 5 Rabbits. While we were driving there, we had a hard time figuring out where the place even was! It was in the middle of a trucking depot and was a big warehouse. When you walk in, there is this adorable tasting room where you can buy samples, pints, and bottles. They also had tacos for sale that were AMAZING! I only eat poultry and fish, but they only had steak and pork. I ate four pork tacos and could have had more! Because of this, we decided we needed to try some other of these local breweries around town.
Another thing on my list was to visit the "Waterfalls" in Worth. It is a little gem on the south suburbs of Chicago. It is really just a place where air gets put back into the water. There are tons of ducks and geese so it is very smelly. It was SO pretty, however.
I think that is about all that has been going on for now. I plan on having a few more things crossed off before summer is over. Time to work on some school activities!
