Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at Red Tricycle Chicago? When we’re not writing about what you can do with your kids, we’re out there experiencing it. Our editor Kelly Aiglon went searching for fun with her twin boys this summer. As you can imagine, she didn’t need to look far. Water slides were coasted. Farmers’ markets were shopped. Playgrounds were romped. And naps were avoided like the plague (alas!). Flip through the photo album for a peek at all the highlights.

We Coasted Through the Wild West

The Runaway Mine Cars roller coaster at Donley's Wild West Town felt like a train gone wild. The ups, downs and turns made our kindergarteners' hearts jump with delight. The entire Wild West theme park was well worth the hour drive from the city. Located at 8512 S. Union Rd., Union (815-923-9000 or wildwesttown.com)

What did you do this summer? Let us know in the Comments section below.
