WOOT WOOT WE WOKE UP!!! And now we're in Lake Forest. We tuned back into our new favorite book that we simultaneously absolutely despise, The Teacher. We drove by quite possibly the largest field of wind turbines we have ever seen. Let's go clean energy.

Today was probably our most wholesome day thus far. A comeback from punch-bowl gate yesterday. Upon arrival, we parked across my aunt's driveway so that she could not escape from her home if she wanted to. We drove over to Lake Michigan and Louisa's mom's childhood home (hi, Mom— popcorn and Rombauer just don't taste the same without you). 
There are Great Whites and mermaids in here
Then we strolled around downtown and explored various shops.
Flowers YAY
Tomato sign YAY
Soon after, we met up at Louisa's Mimi's house for a dinner at the PUB. We got to hear all the lore about Susie being the most difficult child, which made Louisa feel much better <3. I always appreciate mom mom gossip. Afterwards we popped over to Elewa farm across the street where Louisa's aunt used to live in a small cottage. We needed this walk. 
Walkie
Afterwards, we went to get ice cream. And back again Louisa's worst nightmare, aesthetic high schoolers. God, they are the worst. They are so much cooler than me and make me insecure. On our swift exit from the ice cream parlor, Louisa made us walk the long way out so that we would not pass these girls again. Some man was walking in as we were exiting, and tried to make a joke "Y'all must like ice cream." YEA we do. That's why we're in an ice cream parlor and I do not have time for this shi*t I'm running away from eighth graders. But once we escaped, our ice cream evening was enjoyable to say the least.
Ice cream cures all woes.
We sat on the park where Louisa used to chase her shadow as a kid while eating bugs. Afterwards, we went home to cuddle up before our big day tomorrow. Tank you Lake Forest, lovely as always.
