As our final days of summer are approaching we decided to check out something new with the kids this morning and go to this park/lake area called Twin Lake in Palatine just a few minutes from us where you can rent paddle boats.  So today was a first for Avery and Kellan when they took a paddle boat ride in the lake. We even brought along food for the ducks and they came up really close to our boat and the kids LOVED it.  After the 30 minute ride we played on the playground:) What a great morning
