Summer is virtually here and like much of the country, the better weather has come at the same time as the kids are off for their long (neverending?) summer break!

How to amuse them!?

Well, this month Governor Quinn proclaims June “Leave No Child Inside” Month in Illinois and throughout the month, he is encouraging young people to spend more time outdoors enjoying natural resources that we have in the area!

After all, we have some of the most beautiful natural sites in the country – from our state parks to our lakes and rivers, we have some beautiful areas!

As part of the month (which was launched back in 2007) there are many featured events, for instance, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and many partners will host free family events to help connect kids with nature. William W. Powers State Recreation Area in Chicago, James “Pate” Philip State Park and Illinois Beach State Park in Zion all have events throughout the month!

Studies show that when children spend time outdoors not only are there health benefits that come with exercise, but feelings of anxiety and depression decrease, concentration and performance at school improves and they gain an early appreciation and love of nature. Of course the exercise itself lowers high blood pressure and contributes to an overall improvement in physical health and fitness and helps kids lose weight!

So, in short – get outdoors and enjoy our area!

Bartlett is such a great place to live and work. It is steeped in history – more than most people realize!

For instance, the Daily Herald has reported on this heartwarming story!;

How the oldest building in the village, the 137 year old train depot (the fifth oldest depot in the Chicago area) is being moved temporarily. The need for the move occurred when crews prepared to start renovations at the downtown building, they discovered the structure, built in 1873, lacked a foundation and rested on wooden timbers. Years of water damage threatened the building, which officials want to transform into a transportation museum.

The small, three room, 600 square foot building at 161 S. Oak Ave, Bartlett has been temporarily relocated so a new foundation can be constructed – do not worry, the building has only been moved 100 feet so a new foundation can be poured! It is expected that the building will be back on its plot by the summer, with the museum plans coming to fruition in 2011 – it will be Bartlett’s second museum.

This is definitely an unusual and heartwarming story about Bartlett, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

If you are thinking of relocating to Bartlett then please contact me today for immediate real estate assistance in the area.
