We got up early (for us) and drove to the airport to catch a plane to Chicago. Left ample time but hit no rush hour traffic nor long lines at security. Got to the gate with an hour to spare and discovered that the flight was delayed an hour. Jack and I hooked up with Dad, Mom, and sisters Linda and Maryann at O'hare and we made it to the cottage at Lake Geneva early in the evening. Helped shop for groceries with Mom and Maryann while Gramps and Aunt Linda took Jack swimming. Ate dinner out on the deck with lots of fireflies (good) and mosquitos (bad). The kids next door invited us to do fireworks, then we went down to the hill to the cousins' cottage for more fireworks. Roger surprised us - he booked a ticket and will be here Friday!
