This morning we drove up to Winnetka to celebrate Independence Day with our dear friends Drew and Cindy. The parade, although seemingly all politicians and realtors, had exactly the feel of a mid-century celebration in middle America! Moms in summer dresses, kids on decorated bikes and dogs devouring discarded bowls of ice cream. After the parade, we headed back to the house for an epic water gun battle between "the cousins", and lunch. Then we cleaned up and headed to 'the club' for dinner, festivities and fireworks. Now, my set of life experiences doesn't include much time at a country club so our visit to West Moorland was fascinating to me! They had an amazing set up for the kids (games, dancing, bouncies and even a zipline) and a luxurious spread of food featuring all the mainstays of Americana - even hot dogs and apple pie!
The kids had a genuinely fantastic evening - it's so rare that they can really enjoy a little freedom - running between the sweets table and the bounce house at their whim.
