So Vince told me a couple weeks ago he was going to Chicago for work and I thought "not without us!" So we got the hotel set up, borrowed a DVD system and arrived a short 10 hours later to beautiful Lake Michigan. Mapquest said it should only take us 8 hours 45 min. but we must have small bladders or something, because on the way back it took us 11 hours. Thank goodness for movies! We visited the Shedd Aquarium and got to see the dolphins perform. That was pretty cool! We also swam ALOT, met some high school friends and went to American Girl (Haley was an amazing mother to all those babies, and Lila went crazy doing laps around the tables with the doll stroller). For mommy, we went to H and M and of course, I had to buy my new niece (Mae Adaire) some beautiful outfits for Christmas! We had a great time (except for the inner-city driving). You could tell we were from out-of-town, when your yelling out your window at the traffic director "State Street?!" It is insane and it makes me thankful I only have to deal with Lawrence traffic. We also went to the Hershey Store for Halloween cupcakes and hot cocoa. Haley was a princess, Lila was a fairy (without the itchy wings), and Alex was Obi-Wan-Kanobi. The picture of Haley and Alex is a little silly, but if you know Haley, she loves to make silly faces and noises.
