The nice thing about the storm was that it cooled things down at least a little, and it also made it so that a lot of people were outside, so we got to visit and talk to a few neighbors we rarely see.

Elmhurst Storm Damage- July 1, 2012
Our walk Sunday evening was punctuated with the buzz of cicadas and the hum of generators. One of those quick yet painful summer storms blew through around noon, and power was still out all around our neighborhood at 7:00pm, and likely will be for a few days. Most yards had at least a few branches down (ours included), some had trees snapped in half, and others had trees completely uprooted.

Downtown Elmhurst, IL- June 30, 2012
We decided to combine some chores with our weekend 3-mile walk and walked around downtown Elmhurst. We parked in a parking garage near the library, walked to the library to drop off and pick up books (I've been wanting to re-read "The Hobbit" since I saw the new trailer before Brave!), walked to Jewel for some light non-perishables that we could fit in the strollers, then to Chipotle for lunch (slightly more carbs than usual, but better than some other options), and some time for our oldest to play with the fountain. Sure it took 3 hours to do our 3 mile walk, but it was a nice day overall.
