Look out Madison, here come the Hanrattys!

One of my favorite parts of summer is returning to the midwest, the chilly evenings, the warm welcome and big hugs from Grandma and Grandpa, the live music on every corner and water everywhere you turn. I'm a fan of tradition, so every year we check the same boxes... Union Terrace, Farmers Market, Concerts on the Square, lunch on the capitol square, a trip to the river and some everyday goofing... and this year we threw in some new fun art projects and restaurants, explored a cave and a visit to the spot where Mom and Dad were married!  

And as always, just a perfect way to spend the summer!  

Mom and Dad, thanks for your love and enthusiasm.  We just love you so much.

The union terrace... just my favorite place on earth.  My happy place!  I am SO thrilled you girls love it as much as I do. The view, dancing to the music, sitting back and playing a game as a family, and of course the ice cream!!!!

 Sunflowers for days!

 Mollie meets baby Raiya!

 We couldn't resist going back for more union!

 And as always, we cap off as many days as we can with Blue Moon Ice Cream!!!!

 Cheers to Madison and summer traditions!
