Chicago!

We went to Chicago twice in July!

July 5-6 we went there with Jerry's parents and Terri, Robby, and Maggie. It was the most beautiful 2 days! The weather was more perfect than we could have asked for! Sunny and 70 degrees! We had a blast! We went to American Girl and they now have some Asian dolls!!! So of course I had to buy the Asian Bitty Baby, for Kimi! Maggie and I named the doll Mei Ling! :) So I am a mess, what can I say?

I also figured out how we were going display all the kids books! I found these shelves at Menards! The one is for shoes, the other...? Who knows? It is part of a shelving system for a closet. But I put all the little books in the shoe shelf and some little toys, and all the large books on the other! It looks so cute! I think the kids are going to love it!

Again!

We went to Chicago again on the 15th! We went to the museum of Science and Industry, and then met some friends at Shedd's Aquarium! We had so much fun with them, and their kids are so adorable! We just loved "playing" with them! Afterwards we went to a really great Restaurant in Greek-town! We had never eaten at a Greek Restuarant before! We loved it! The poor kids were so tired, but were quite good through dinner! We finally had to say goodbye though!!!

In the Morning on the 16th, we met with Heather, Paul, Ryleigh and Kristina (their neice) at the train station in Michigan City, and we headed back to Chicago to go to the Chinatown Summer Fair! We had so much fun! We bought some stuff, and ate Chinese of course! I found the best flip flops for only $4!

So after we were exhausted from Chinatown and the heat (95 and sunny!!) we got on the train to head back downtown! Then Jerry and Paul went home and we girls stayed overnight! We went to our Hotel to cool off for a while and then went to dinner at the California kitchen on Ohio Street. We had a fun evening, Ryleigh and I , playing with the Chopsticks that came with my salad!

We came home the next evening, we were all so tired! from being so hot all day!!! But we were really glad we went!
