It was actually Ben's first day back to school full time so that was a little bit of a bummer but I took the boys swimming in the morning and we had such a great time. Charlie can now swim quite far without his swimbelt and can reach the bottom of the pool. On his discovery of this he squealed, "I'm proud of myself!" It was so cute.
That afternoon we headed to LaPorte and Papa Hughie watched the boys for us so that we could go on a date. My choice was to head to Mt. Baldy and then eat dinner at Olive Garden.
When we were in high school we spent many evenings at Mt. Baldy. Ben proposed there 10 years ago and we hadn't been back since. It was really special to head up there and see Chicago across Lake Michigan and soak up the last rays of sunshine.
Wow how times have changed... 9 years of marriage and 2 3/4 kids later! Here is my growth spurt belly at 27 1/2 weeks. 
We started goofing around a bit so I could play with my camera. "Which way is the beach, Ben?"
