The Windy City.

On Thursday we left on quite the expedition.

Ten hours in the car with all three kids – road trippin’ to the grand city of Chicago.  Overall the car trip went really well, and the boys were very excited to get to see a big city.  We got to hang out with Brian’s whole family – celebrating the birth of a beautiful baby boy, and the second birthday of his big sister.

Boys!  That’s enough!

(Probably the most repeated phrase of the weekend.)

Zee, give me the camera.  Now.

 

Finally there to see a sweet little boy, and a red headed beauty.

 

On the metra on the way into the city.  The boys were very excited, they had never been on a train before.  Sylvia was obviously thrilled.

Gettin’ some Chicago style pizza.  mmmmm…

The birthday girl!

 

This is my father in law climbing a tree to get a ball out.  My mother in law has warned me not to let him babysit.  (just joking Grandpa Richard :) )

 

The boys (by boys I mean the little ones and the big ones.) had a lot of fun playing outside.  It was a lot of fun getting to hang out with the family and just enjoy each other’s company.  It was also fun getting to travel with the boys (they had never left the state.) and getting to introduce them to so many new things.  Fun times were had by all in the windy city.
