French Connection at Cantigny Park

Last Sunday dear husband and I went to the French Connection Day at Cantigny Park. 
My DIL told me about it and wanted to know if we would go with them
…..well of course……
A day spent with family AND it was about France!
We have been to other venues there and it’s always wonderful to be back in that beautiful park.
We indulged and shared a chocolate crepe
 wandered aimlessly  thru the aisle of vendors. 
the 2 piece band was delightful  
the mime priceless 
and the stilt walker incredible... especially to the tiny grandchildren.

Such a goof ball!!!



The Rose Garden


We sat here and took it all in


There are fountains and a beautiful mansion  and ponds and so much more to see.

Hummingbirds

Dear friend Chris has more hummingbird feeders that I can count.....
well a bit of an exaggeration but you get my drift. 
When I was there last time and enjoying the hummingbirds coming to visit at the end of the day I was talking to her about the new small feeders she had hanging. Being the generous person she is she gave me the two that you see in the pictures.  
The birds found  the feeders (as well a some scary wasps) and I have only been lucky enough to see them several times.
Success!



















They love my hibiscus flowers
