Crosswalks to Nowhere

We went to the Chocolate Fest in Long Grove on Saturday.

The weather was typical late-April stuff, cloudy and windy with an occasional patch of sun. At least it didn't rain.

We were there for about 5 minutes when Becky spotted the Kettle Corn vendor, and then we picked up some deep-fried cheese curds (mmmm... currrds) from another stand. And we washed it down with a lemonade shakeup.

Long Grove is a touristy little town with a bunch of little shops where you can buy all sorts of gourmet items, antiques, and other knickknack stuff. The kids each made a glitter-decorated pen and Lisa got her chocolate covered strawberries, which added up to a pretty good time.
