Mid-Summer Fun
Can you believe it is already well into July? The weather has felt more like spring than mid-summer here in Chicago so July really snuck up on me.

And the best part about classic summer past-times are that they are relatively inexpensive; perfect for those loving the movement towards a more simple life or that are feeling the pinch of the economy.
