Last night the Blomgrens and future Beckers went to Ravinia. I'll just give my favourite highlight. For those of you who don't know, Ravinia is an outdoor music festival and the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. People bring food and beverages, play cards, sit in the grass and listen to some pretty fantastic music.
Well, we had quite the night planned. We had a little outdoor table (thanks, Mr. and Mrs. B!), candles, centerpieces, cards, wine, snacks, food, blankets, chairs. We were set. Truly, the envy of all Ravinianites.
So we're happily grilling on our little grill, hotdogs and hamburgers and chicken filets. All is going well for about twenty minutes. Then a man with a walkie talkie approaches us and kindly informs us that apparently grills aren't allowed in the park. Here we are, for maybe half an hour, with people all around, and we've practically got a little farm on our grill with smoke billowing in all directions, and now we're getting told we have to immediately take the grill out of the park.
Apparently, we don't hurry fast enough, and he continues: "You see that building over my right shoulder? They're watching you from there with binoculars."
It doesn't get any better.

Disko- I'm getting caught up on your blog. Its fun to hear your thoughts. Ravinia was fantastic. I've told our numerous stories to quite a few people. We'll have to do it again sometime soon. I saw Drew today (moving day) and we talked about our next adventure to CO (possibly in May now...I'll fill you in) and the grand ole bp we are gonna throw you. Talk to you soon man.
