We started at the beach Monday morning. It wasn't sunny, but it was fun! We skipped rocks, splashed, waded, and finally got all the way in the COLD water! Alyssa is a fearless little daredevil--she was the first to go all the way in. Hunter & I couldn't let our little sis outdo us, so we both followed!
Sand Art!
Hunter missed football practice & weightlifting, so we thought we'd give him a workout by having him carry the milk home :)
We also went to the Lily Pond (where Hunter may or may not have gotten poison ivy) and the zoo. It is so much fun having Hunter & Ki around--they make everything exciting!
Later Monday night we went to Molly's for cupcakes! Yummmm :) I love this place!
And we shared some wings at BWW to watch the end of the Stanley Cup Finals. Travis was so excited when the Hawks won! This also means the Millars owe us dinner...yesss! :)
Yesterday we took the train downtown, and rode a bus on our way home--Alyssa's first time (that she remembers) on public transit! Thanks to his trips to San Fran visiting the Hightowers, Hunter was a veteran.
And even though it was a rainy day, we all had a blast downtown. We saw the bean, walked the Mile, had lunch with Travis, and explored the Brain Store and the Lego Store.
Dad drove up today to join the fun! He brought us lunch and then we went to the beach. He waded in the water right along with us, skipped rocks, and took pictures and videos to document the day :) It was great to have him here!
Big thanks to Mom and Dad for letting us steal their kids for a few days--definitely a highlight of my summer here in Chicago! We were sad to see you leave, but we'll see you again soon! We love you!
--Travis & Holly
