I'm back!!!! Thanks to Nina for filling in while I vacationed in Texas.  BTW - If you don't like hot weather, Texas is not the place for you in the summer.  Thankfully, my sister (whom we were visiting) has a swimming pool in her backyard. 

  View from my floatie -- Now that's the life!

Congratulations to our Contest Winners!  Lisa and SAM from Skokie and Susie from Northbrook each won 4 tickets to The Emperor's New Clothes at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre on Navy Pier. 

Upcoming Giveaways -   FIVE kidwinks members will each win 2 free tickets to Donley's Wild West Town this week.  We'll announce the contest on Facebook, so make sure to Like Us now so you don't run the risk of missing out.

School / Camp Physicals:  If your child needs a physical for school or camp, check out the new coupon for Resurrection Immediate Care Facilities in our Coupon Section below.  Only $30!

I picked a few events from our calendar for the upcoming week to highlight below, but there's LOTS more going on.  Really, it's so hard to choose! Go to kidwinks for more Chicago family fun.
