My mom and dad took the oldest five grandkids and participated in Bike the Drive. It’s a great event where the city of Chicago shuts down Lakeshore Drive for the morning so bikers can have at it.

It was a first for Peter and Hannah. Apparently, they chatted the entire ride of nearly 30 miles.

Here are the bikers the night before the ride, as the sun was setting.

The non-biking crew made our way downtown later that day. The weather proved perfect for swimming.

My dad and brother were the troupers in the water with the little ones.

A great way to kick off summer!
