Our last day to really do anything together. We met at The Musuem of Science & Industry one by bus, the other by train. This was a packed day. We tried hard to absorb as much of the museum as we could, but we probably only touched 60% of it! Very overwhelming! Time to resume normal life.

Today started with a slow morning at the house, then a drive downtown back to Navy Pier. We took in a performance of The Little Mermaid. I was disappointed in their technical delivery over my previous trip to see the Shakespeare Company. The kids enjoyed it. Next was shopping on Michigan Ave. I didn’t get many photos today. I elft Scott and Karen downtown to stay at a hotel.

Scott and Karen have come for a visit with the family. It is their first trip to Chicago since we moved up here.
Today we rode the train downtown, then took the free trolley (with driver Super Dave) to Navy Pier. First stop, the Chicago Children’s Museum followed by rides on the pier. Beggar’s Pizza for dinner, then canasta into the night! What fun!

I had an opportunity to take Garrett to a waterpark with some friends today. We both ended up getting quite the sunburns, even while putting on sunscreen regularly. Garrett is a fish! He loved the wave pool and the tall water slide that you use an innertube to come down on.

Besides the excitement of the ER that Sarah gets to experience every day, today she had an opportunity to ride along with UCAN for a few hours.
She left her pager and phone at home, so when she called us from the hospital near our house and was going to be there for a bit, we ran over to deliver her devices and see the chopper. The boys were very excited and proud of their momma.

Garrett experienced his first dental visit today. He did extremely well. I’ll post some pictures as soon as we get them developed. I was really pleased with him. :)

Continuing my last blog ...
Then there are times that they bust out a window in the backdoor while you have company over because they didn’t get their way. :(

The boys beg me to get out of bed most mornings and feed them breakfast. Weston turns 5 in a few days. This morning, Weston came in and annouced in a very proud voice that breakfast was waiting for me! I probed with a couple of questions. He had set the table and poured cereal in the bowls. At this point, I’m having visions of a bowl buried beneath a mountain of HoneyCombs with rivers of milk cascading down waterfalls to the floor. Needless to say, I got up.
To my delight, he had poured a small amount of granola cereal (they call it “adult cereal”) into three bowls (two “kid” bowls and one adult bowl). Luckily, he had decided that the milk was too heavy for him to control, so he left that for me. :)
What a joy it is to realize that your kids are growing up and able to do some things on their own!
