Palatine Fest

August 24, 2008- We went to the Palatine Fest at downtown Palatine with Liz Bertke. There wasn't much to see or to do at the fest on that day since it was the last day of the fest. We had a roasted corn on the cob (pretty good) for snack and Ben & Jerry ice cream for dessert. Then we met up with Liz's sis, Reagan at Half-Priced Bookstore(not far from the fest). We bought a couple of cool children books for Ian, a Vietnamese cooking book for myself and a few books for Jack. After that we came back to our house for dinner. Liz and Reagan helped to cook Chicken Quesadilla and instant wild rice. The food was great and the company was great as well. Overall we had a good time with the Bertke sisters that day.

The picture of the moose is the one that scared Ian. We tried to have him give the moose a high five, but he was too afraid to and clung to daddy for dear life.
