Whew!  It's HOT!  Luckily, Mac Kid is here to help you find all sorts of fun things to do with your family both outside in the sun and inside where there's some AC!  My family and I will be taking advantage of both this weekend.  Tomorrow we're headed to Chicago Shakespeare Theatre to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast.  Every summer we enjoy their children's shows and I know tomorrow will be no different!

Sunday we're going to pack up a picnic and head to Ravinia for a little outdoor music.  I love that we live in an area with so much to do and so many great ways to have fun with our families.  Hope you and your fam have a wonderful weekend!
