Just returned from a great Thanksgiving visit with the Newman family in Illinois. We made the obligatory stop at the Dells on the way there and had a fun night at our favorite water park. We then spent a few days at Uncle Tim's, messing up his house and eating all his food :-) We again took the kids on a train ride...they think the Metra is about the coolest thing ever. I guess it might be if you are under 10...not so much if you are riding it twice a day, everyday, for an hour going to and from work. Brought back some memories....We only took it to Arlington Heights. I had a momentary thought that it would be fun to take everyone downtown for the day, but then after really thinking about it....the walking, the crowds, the whining, I thought better of it. Lunch in AH with some yummy ice cream for dessert was just what the kids ordered.
Fun week with everyone, sad to say good-bye. Now I guess it's time for the Christmas madness to begin!!
Afternoon in Arlington Heights. Weather was perfect...a balmy 57 degrees!
Family picture with the Newmans.
And I keep forgetting to post about Grandparents / Special Friends Day at the kids' school. It was a couple of weeks ago and Aunt Nancy and Uncle Don were kind enough to attend the event with the kids. The kiddos got to introduce them to their teachers and give them a quick tour of the school after Mass.
