Arrival: ABBA cover band from Sweden.
Bex was in charge of the edibles and most importantly, the presentation!
Friends from work: Glenda, who is camera shy and Lori, who is not!
Bex was feeling her cuteness last night and rocking the self portraits.

My friend Bex and I headed up to Ravinia last night to see the ABBA cover band from Sweden called Arrival. The weather was looking precarious but it only sprinkled a bit during the song "Waterloo"! The place was sold out and as per usual, it was a super fun night of dancing and laughter and wine. I always sit and marvel at how happy everyone is when they are out picnicking and enjoying music on a summer night under the open sky. Life should be a big huge Ravinia! (Except the part where flaky parents bring their kids along and let them run wild and ram into our table and spill wine all over us. I hate stains and I hate to see good wine go to waste!) We met up with a couple of my friends from work, Glenda and Lori, and we also visited with another coworker during intermission, Beata. Beata's brother and sister-in-law are visiting from Poland and it was very nice to meet them.
Amazingly, I didn't feel too bad this morning and Patrick, Margaux and myself rode our bikes to the grand opening of our new neighborhood playground at Rutherford Sayre Park. It's so cute! There is a brand new playground/water play area and little meditation garden that is sponsored by the Chicago Botanical Garden Society. There were snacks and refreshments and choo choo train rides. Sadly, I forgot to bring my camera! (Because we document our entire lives these days, huh?) The park is very close to our house and I am looking forward to spending a lot of time there with my little girlie.
