Last week was all about driving back and forth to Chicago. Thursday was the concert. Friday was a low country shrimp boil at The Frigs. Everyone but Hudson (boo) was able to make it. It was fun getting together. We'll be doing it soon again, I'm sure.
The Frigs are always such great hosts and the food was delicious.
The seafood boil inspiration came from these two Tulane graduates.
Such a fun summer night.
Cole also had three soccer games this week. The first was Saturday in Racine during the pouring rain. Then Sunday, it was back to Chicago to play on the Loyola University fields.
Zoe goes to school there, and a lot of her friends are staying in Chicago for the summer, so she got to see the for the first time in months. These three were all in Rome last semester together.
The soccer fields are right by Devon, so Brian and I got to walk around and explore the neighborhood for a little bit. We also picked up some late night food for the car ride home.
Wednesday was the final RKC game of the season. The game was on their home field in Racine, and they won 5-0. Cole even scored his second goal of the season. The team is made of such quality players, and the club has been really good to him. He's super lucky to get to play this high level soccer during the summer season. Now, he gets some deserved rest before the college season kicks in.
The Kramers and Sandoval's came out to cheer Cole on for his final game too.
Quesadillas over the open fire. It's been awhile since we've made those.
My friends were that the shrimp truck that sells wild gulf shrimp was going to be in the neighborhood, and I had to check it out. I've seen this truck before and wondered, who would buy shrimp out of a truck? That answer today, is me. And let me tell you, it's legit. The line was long, the shrimp was fresh. They drive up from Texas every 5 weeks or so.
I even made a spontaneous shrimp lunch for myself, before freezing the rest. Complete with corn I picked up yesterday from a farmer's stand. Lucky me! Meanwhile, Brian headed up to the EAA for a couple days for AirVenture. I may join him tomorrow. We'll see.
