Saturday morning we headed to Long Grove for a day with grandma and grandpa McGinty. Karrick hung out inside with grandma while I headed to Deer Park mall for some retail therapy. Tim grew up here and there is no shortage of things to do. The boys brought their sleds and snowboards as grandma has her own hill. Their home sits on 6+ acres and being that grandpa owns a tree company the grounds are a photographers dream.The landscaping is something out of a magazine. There are many buildings in mint condition. Here is the 10,000 sq foot barn that boasts a basketball court inside. In the summer we enjoy the in ground pool, kayaking on the pond and driving around on golf carts. It's a mini vacation just 20 min from Lombard.

sometimes my Karrick seems so tiny to me
Patrick just runs wild protecting everyone from some phantom danger, maybe he senses the coyotes or deer that roam. Click on Patrick and see his psycho eyes
My all time favorite tree a 200+ year old Oak tree that is protected

Your Long Grove Pics are beautiful! I loved visiting the "McGinty Farm" in the winters. I enjoyed in the summer too. It is a peaceful home! I would go snowmobiling & play football w/your older Bro-in-laws! It was a blast!
